If you do not know the exact spelling of your word, you can use the “wild cards” in your search. Use ? to replace a single letter in your word or * to replace more than one letter when you search. For example: penguin, peng*n or pen?in. This allows you to use it as a crossword dictionary or scrabble dictionary to assist you with other word games and puzzles.
