Common issues

Since this dictionary is specialized for crosswords, only "commonly used nouns" are registered in the built-in system dictionary.

If the word you are looking for is not registered in the system dictionary, you can add it as a user dictionary.

If the word you want to search for is not found, please check the following

· The dictionary you want to use is enabled in "Dictionaries in use".

· The dictionary is installed in "Dictionaries in use > Edit"

· The list of words is displayed in the preview when you tap the dictionary in "Dictionaries in use > Edit".

· The list of words is displayed when you click the "Search without determining the number of characters" button without entering anything in "Easy Search"

If the list of dictionaries is not displayed in "Dictionaries in use > Edit", the database may not have been initialized properly. Please go to "Settings > Initialize" to initialize the database.

Do not leave the screen while the database is being initialized or the dictionary is being installed. Wait until the process is finished. If the application goes into the background, the process may not complete properly.

If you want to check if the word you want to search for exists in the dictionary, you can check all the words registered in the dictionary you are currently using by entering nothing in "Easy Search" and clicking the "Search without determining the number of characters" button.

You can use the 'Filter' button to narrow down the number of characters for the word you want to search for, which will make it easier to confirm your search.

Advanced search

· The search mode is set to "Advanced".

· Only three types of symbols can be used as wildcards: "_" = one character, "%" = one or more characters, and "\" = escape symbol. If you use other symbols, you may not be able to perform a normal search.

User dictionary

What is the additional format of the dictionary?

There are two types of dictionary addition: "Keyword Only" and "Keyword,Supplement".

If there is no comma-separation in a sentence, it is automatically registered as "Keyword Only".

Keyword Only

The entire line will be registered as a single keyword.

Keyword,Supplement.

Words before the comma will be registered as keywords, and words after the comma will be registered as supplements.

If there is no comma-separation in the file, everything will be registered as "Keyword Only".

What is "Keyword"?

These are the words used in the search.

If you want to search for a word, please register it as a "Keyword".

What is "Supplement"?

These words are used to display readings, meanings, etc.

They are not used for searching purposes.

You can add multiple words as supplements by separating them with [/].

borange,orange juice/orange peel

If you want the supplement to be included in the search results, make sure to switch the order of the keyword and supplement.

apple,apple pie

> "apple" hits the search, but "apple pie" does not hit the search.

apple,apple pie

apple pie,apple

> "apple" and "apple pie" both come up in the search.

Is the dictionary in the correct format?

You can register in two formats: "Keyword Only" or "Keyword,Supplement".

In "Keyword Only", one line is registered as a keyword.

Please use this one for the basics as it is simple to register and hard to malfunction.

To add pronunciations and meanings, use "Keyword,Supplement".

In "Keyword,Supplement", [,] is recognized as a separator.

When [,] is used within a word, [,] should be replaced with [\,] or the word should be enclosed in [""].

If you want to add "blue" as a keyword and "blue,sky" as a supplement

blue,blue\,sky

blue,"blue,sky"

To add more than one supplementary character, use [/] to separate them.

Special symbols such as [@#$%^&*] may not be available in some cases.

If the text is garbled, please specify the character code [UTF-8] when saving.

Only text files such as [.txt][.csv] can be added.

You can register up to 1 item for "Keyword" and 2 items for "Keyword,Supplement". Any further items will be ignored.
