Because you can search across all categories at the same time, you may get results from different categories in the same list. E.g.-
fish ?????? | = 1) Piscis (CONSTELLATIONS) |
2)Salmon (FISH)
*If you enter complicated key words and target words, it may take a
long time to check the word list. In this case you can stop the search
by pressing

This is intended to give you all possible solutions which match your criteria, because you may not always know from your clue, exactly which of the 256 categories you should be looking under. If you want
to check the category of a result, press 
as described above.
Please take a little time to learn how to use this solver, as it has been designed to provide you with lots of different ways to search Oxford’s wealth of general knowledge information.
