## Finding words

Use the arrow keys to move around. To find a word, just start typing the letters. You do not have to bother about capitals or accents, nor about spaces, hyphens and quotes. To find überhaupt in the German dictionary, simply type uberh. To find çà in the French dictionary, simply type ca. You can type ss instead of ß, and oe instead of œ.

## Crosswords

Use periods or question marks for single letters. For instance, am?er will only find five-letter words such as amber. Use a star (*) to find groups of letters. For instance, am*er will find both amber and amplifier.
