Q.   How do I change the Tiles? Tile Color? Dictionary? Etc.
A.   All of these can be found in Settings.
Q.   What is an anagram?

Q.   How do I show or hide the list of anagrams?

Q.   What do TWL and OSPD mean?
A.   TWL and OSPD are abbreviations for the various word lists (lexicons) that are available.
Q.   What does a question mark (?) mean?
A.   The question mark (?) represents a blank or wildcard letter.
Q.   What's a wildcard?
A.   A wildcard is a placeholder. It can be replaced with any letter you choose. When you check a word with a wildcard in it, you will be asked to designate the letter to complete the word.
Q.   How many wildcards can I enter?
A.   Currently, the only limit to the number of wildcards is the maximum length of the word (which you can change in Settings). However, the more wildcards you enter, the longer it will take to generate the list of anagrams. It is recommended that you limit your racks to 2-3 wildcard characters at most.
