        This dictionary has been updated for AlphaSpell VI.

        This dictionary is based on version 1.3 of Ross Beresford's "UK
Advanced Cryptics Dictionary." This is "a word list for crossword solvers
and setters." The main differences between Ross Beresford's original
dictionary and the AlphaSpell dictionary are these. (1) The AlphaSpell
dictionary is one file, and the original dictionary is 26 files. (2) The
AlphaSpell dictionary is compressed, and the original dictionary is
straight ASCII. (3) The original dictionary contained phrases as well as
words, but the AlphaSpell dictionary does not contain the phrases. This is
because AlphaSpell is primarily a spelling checker, and it only checks
words against words, not against phrases.

        Although AlphaSpell is primarily a spelling checker, it can also be
used to solve crossword puzzles. For example, if you're looking for a five
letter word whose second letter is p, you could send the pattern "?p???" to
AlphaSpell. AlphaSpell is also useful for solving scrambled word puzzles.
