press .
2 Type in your key words.
They can be a word, a category or
even a related word or date etc.
(Rather like searching the internet)
42
E.g. art and dutch :
This means that the result should be
related to art and Dutch.
*You can add one target word with
wildcard letters (? , * or #), if you
know some letters of the target word.
In this example, the target word is “Gogh”. In case you know that
the target word is four letters and it starts “g”. It will be “g???”.
* If you don’t have any hint for the word (any length and letters), you
can omit this word and you can search by scrolling all data that has
words related to your key words.
* Up to two (*) or (#) can be entered and any number of (?), but you
can only have one target word containing wildcards.
*You need to enter at least one key word.
*You can enter key words in any order.

the entered word was spelled incorrectly, it will be ignored from the
input automatically.
In this example “zzz” and “xxx” are
ignored from input and the correct
answer is displayed.
If the entered word is not in the
thematic data, the message “No
matches found” is displayed and it
goes back to the input display.
* This solver searches only the Thematic data and does not search
words from the Crossword list.

may get results from different categories in the same list. E.g.-

2) Salmon (
FISH)
* If you enter a complicated key word it may take a long time to check
the word list. In this case you can stop the search by pressing .
