***WORD WORLD™*** The Ultimate Word Finder (c) 2009-10 Dr Jeff Software™ Co. ============ REALLY BRIEF ============ WORD WORLD™ is "The Ultimate Word Finder" -- an app that answers the question, "What’s that word? It's right on the tip of my tongue." WORD WORLD™ is a compilation of word "similitude" groups -- groups of words that either sound alike or are spelled alike. WORD WORLD™ implements a proprietary "word search engine" -- so that you will never be "at a loss for words". It is an essential tool for wordsmiths, crossword enthusiasts, lyricists, writers, teachers and students. WORD WORLD™ is a new class of app implementing word search via its proprietary database -- a classified compilation of 1000s of word "similitude" groups. For example, "word" and "world" both sound alike and are spelled alike. Any search on "word" would find word groups "ward, weird, word" (vowel exchange), "whirred, word" (homonyms), "sword, words" (anagrams), and "word, world" (add consonant). Even "would" appears in the word groups with "Silent letters" sub-category of the "Consonants" main category (1 of 10). WORD WORLD™ has formed thousands of "similitude" word groups by classifying a select subset of the nearly 1,000,000 words in the English vocabulary into 10 "categories", each with up to 19 sub-categories (or "sections"). In WORD WORLD™, words are "similar" if they either sound alike: homonyms, malaprops; or are spelled alike: anagrams, prefixes, letter substitutions, etc. For example, homonyms have been organized into double, triple, quadruple and greater classes (each presented in a separate "section"). So far, a surprising number of triples and quads have been cataloged. Likewise, surprisingly large anagrams (and palindromes) have been found and included. BENEFITS * Find words and check spellings -- easier than with a dictionary * Avoid commonly misused words (as "malaprops") * Find rhymes with "homonyms" and other categories * Complete lists of homonyms, anagrams, palindromes * Reference category includes abbreviations for texting, US states, TLDs, etc. In summary, WORD WORLD™ is useful for: *Gaming: word games such as crossword puzzles and Scrabble *Schools: generating spelling lists and building vocablary *Writing: helping writers choose (not "chose") the best/right word, avoiding common errors *Composing lyrics (many word groups end with the same sound, esp. the "Vowels" category) *Choosing alternative keywords in search text TO CLOSE: if online, click browser BACK button LAST EDIT: 12/9/10
