## What is Français Words Finder/WF?

Find words for playing the game, or learn words you never knew. Sort the results on word length, alphabet, or word score. Find not the longest, but the best word! You can find words using the letters you have, but also match up letters and word parts on the board.  

Lookup words online or in the local dictionary with a Copy/Define/Lookup online/Mail menu.

The word length selector is handy to find words for Draw Something.

New is the "Test word" option: test if a word exists, and find words with missing letters. You can use this to see if there are words that would fit a game situation, and which letters you would need. Also handy to find 2-letter combinations. Use a single dot for one missing letter, an @ sign for more. Also usable for crossword puzzles.

Searches are case and diacritic-marks insensitive, type 'etre', and 'être' is displayed too. Diactritics can be typed by holding down a letter 'e', and choosing the 'ê', but also by adding them with the diacritics key of the French keyboard, like 'e' and adding the '^' later. That is also recognised.

French language version: ODS9 words list, 405.814 words.
When "ALL words" is selected the words list is more than 500.000 words.
Extra word lists are ODS5, ODS6, ODS7, ODS8 and ODS9, and Gutenberg.

No internet connection is required, this App will still help you when you are travelling.
