You can clear the display to remove the suggested solutions using the command on the View menu. You can also use the button to display the “history list” which contains the words you have used in this Spell session.

Using the thesaurus

You can use the thesaurus to search for synonyms, i.e. words which have the same or a similar meaning to a word you enter.

∙To use the thesaurus: type the word in the box and tap the Thes button, or select the Thesaurus command from the Tools menu.

If there are suitable words, Spell lists them as they are found. Spell divides the synonyms into categories, each category relating to a different meaning of the entered word, with the main suggestions in bold. The words are separated into groups, e.g. adjectives, nouns, verbs etc.

You can select any word from the list of suggestions to look up again. To do this, either tap on a word to highlight it, and then tap again to select it, or use the arrow keys to highlight the word and press Enter. You can also select a word from the list, then use one of the Toolbar buttons straight away.

Solving anagrams

You can use Spell to search for anagrams of words or letters. An anagram is a word which has some or all of the letters as another word, arranged in a different order. For example, anagram suggestions for ‘angle’ could include ‘glean’, ‘angel’, ‘lane’ and ‘age’.

∙To search for possible anagrams of a word: type the word in the box, tap the Anag button, or select the command from the Tools menu.

Spell lists possible anagrams as they are found. Spell lists the words in order of size, starting with the longest words it can find. If Spell doesn’t find any anagrams, it displays a message to tell you that no solutions were found.
