Type your best guess at spelling a word into WildSpeller, press the return key, and a
list of words will appear. The list is sorted with the most common words first.
You can click Sort Alphabetically to sort the list thusly.
You can use wildcards * and ? to substitute for letters you aren't sure of. An * replaces any number of any characters, including none, and ? replaces any one character. If you don't include * or ?, WildSpeller shows words that sound like what you typed.
If you type newmoanya and press the Return key, one
of the displayed words is pneumonia.
In this case, no * or ? means WildSpeller lists words that
sound like what you typed.
Alternatively, if you type pneumonoul*, the list will be all words starting with pneumonoul followed by any number of any letters.
To copy a word to the clipboard use menu item Edit->Copy,

Checking the Use Large Dictionary checkbox will cause WildSpeller to
use a 527,000-word dictionary. This may result in many synonyms in the list,
possibly making it hard to find the word you want. The default
small dictionary has about 58,000 words.
