3d2f.com:

You just tried to take a rest and relax you brain; instead, you have broken the mood and gotten the feeling of "dumb me" or "dumb puzzle".
To the contrary, you can just use Cross+A and have all your best of all those "brain checks".

The purpose of Cross+A is to simplify the solution of crosswords, word-based puzzles, sudokus, nonograms, and other logic puzzles. Cross+A provides very flexible and powerful search tools. The user can search English words by known letters and descriptions, as well as find anagrams and word combinations.

This is a multilingual version of the popular Russian program Cross+A (Crosswords + Anagrams) by Sergey Kutasov and Ilya Morozov. It uses a dictionary of 159000 English words; part of them has descriptions. Users can add new words, delete and change descriptions, or copy words to the clipboard. Cross+A also includes:

  • the list of English proverbs and sayings;
  • the list of English synonyms and antonyms.

The lists of words for other languages are available for downloading.


Search modes:

  • Search by Letters
    Search word by known length and letters.
  • Anagram Search
    This mode has two special options:
  • "Descending" Search
    Search for all words that can be created from the text letters.
    For example, for the word option the program will find the word-list: point, piton, top, into, tip, etc.
  • "Ascending" Search
    Search for all words that include all letters of the text.
    For example, for the word element the program will find the word-list:
    settlement, development, experimental, acknowledgement, electromagnetism, etc.
  • Search by Description
    This search mode is used when some words in the target word description are known.
  • Search by Pattern
    Search with use of special wildcard characters.
  • Word-combination Search
    The program tries to create word-combinations using the text letters.
    For example: incredible = nice + bridle.
  • Telephone Number Search
    The program finds word equivalents for the telephone numbers. Telephone number digits are substituted by letters written on telephone set buttons.
    For example: 728-74-68 = PATRIOT.
  • Search by Syllables
    The program creates words using syllables from the user's list.
    For example: at,be,e,for = ate, beat, bee, before, fore.
  • Coupling Words Search
    Search for pairs of words where the first word ending is equal to the second word beginning.
    For example: ?????(gen)???? = PATHOGEN and GENESIS.
  • Trackword Search
    Search for words, which can be made by moving from letter to letter horizontally or vertically in the grid.
  • Cryptarithm
    Cryptarithm is an mathematical puzzle involving words where there is a one-to-one mapping between letters and digits that makes the arithmetic equation true.
    For example: MOTHER+FATHER=PARENT   =>   196753+286753=483506.
  • Word-chain Search
    Search for chains of words, where every word differs from its neighbours by one or few letters.
    For example: FLY - FAY - FAT - CAT.
