Examples that show what to type and what to verify next
These examples use words present in the pinned 20,000-token language files. They are demonstrations of shortlist behavior, not claims that a word is valid in every game or publication style guide.
English rack with one blank
A single ? expands the letter bank by one unknown letter.
- Language: English
- Input:
stream? - Expected behavior: longer buildable candidates can appear because one missing letter may be supplied
- Verify next: blank tile rules and whether the final word is accepted
French accent-normalized match
Typing unaccented letters can still find accented source spellings.
- Language: French
- Input:
carte - Candidates to inspect: carte, trace, écart
- Verify next: accent, clue meaning and accepted French word list
German letter count
Repeated and rearranged letters are counted before display.
- Language: German
- Input:
stern - Candidates to inspect: stern, ernst
- Verify next: capitalization and the rules of the specific game
Portuguese accents
Source spellings are displayed after normalized matching.
- Language: Portuguese
- Input:
acao - Candidate to inspect: ação
- Verify next: final spelling, regional usage and publishing rules
Spanish and Portuguese overlap
The same letters can be useful in more than one language, so switch the selector before trusting a candidate.
- Language: Spanish or Portuguese
- Input:
casa - Candidates to inspect: casa, saca
- Verify next: active language, clue context and allowed dictionary
When examples get too broad
Very long racks and searches with several ? wildcards can return broad lists from the 20,000-token source file. Add starts, contains or ends filters only when the puzzle gives that information.
