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 is installed in "Usage Dictionary > Edit"

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

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

· 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 "Usage Dictionary > 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 until the process is finished. If the application goes into the background, the process may not be completed 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.

If you know the number of characters, you can use the "Jump" button to jump to the number of characters of the word you want to search for to check it.

Difficult search

· The search mode is set to "Difficult".

· 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.
