Word Finder
Information for Using the Word Finder App
Type the word or phrase to use for searching.
Tap the type of search you wish to do. A search for words related to the search term includes synonyms.
The results are near the bottom of the app.
The results may include both words and phrases. To do a search using a result, tap the 🔎 icon next to it. Parts of speech (adjective, adverb, noun, verb) are reported when available in the database. The results also state the number of syllables the word or phrase has.
Tapping on the word or phrase produces definitions, if any are known.
The popularity number in the results is an approximate average number of times the word is used per million words of published text.
To find words that use certain letters, type the letters into the search box.
Then, type "?" characters wherever a different letter may be used. And type "*" characters wherever any number of different letters may be used.
When you type a "?" or "*" character in the search box, the "Related Words" button will turn into a "Letters Match" button (and the other buttons will be disabled).
