Finding Letters in Words
If you are uncertain about how to
spell a word, type a question mark
(?) in place of each unknown letter.
To find prefixes, suffixes, and other
parts of words, type an asterisk (
✽
) in
a word. Each asterisk stands for a
series of letters. Note: If you type an
asterisk at the beginning of a word, it
may take a little while to find the
matching words.
