Entering characters

When entering characters, exclude those such as spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, slashes, and periods. See page 13 for details.

Note:

The wildcard character ‘?’ must not be entered into the input field of the Puzzle solver.

The wildcard character ‘?’ can only be used in the Crossword solver (see page 23) or the Random quote function (see page 22).

Up to 24 characters can be entered into the input field of the Puzzle solver. When searching for words containing 25 characters or more, narrow down the search and select the words from the list manually.
