You can search for multiple word anagrams of a given word, either from the Clue Editor or by choosing Anagram... from the Words menu.
If you click the anagram button in the Clue Editor the word you are clueing (or any text that is highlighted) will be selected automatically. If you choose Anagram... from the menu you can type in a word and press Enter or click the Find button to start the search.
Partial Words: Click this tab to find all the words in the word list that can be made using only some of the letters in the search word. The remaining letters are shown in brackets after each word.
Contained in: Click this tab to find words that the search word is contained in. For example if the clue word is 'remain', it will find 'cremation', which is 'remain' plus the letters in 'cot'. The remaining letters are shown in brackets after each word. The words are sorted so that ones where the remaining letters form an anagram (like 'cto' which anagrams to 'cot'), and the letters are in order (as the letters of 'remain' are in 'cremation'), appear first.
The anagram feature finds all the multiple word anagrams of the given word up to a certain maximum number of component words. You can specify the maximum number of words in the List Usage dialog box, along with the word list that is used. If you choose a large number the search is slower, as there will be a lot of different anagrams. Specifying a small number also makes it easier to find a suitable anagram in the list.
Anagrams are displayed as they are found. The words in multi-word anagrams are not sorted, but anagrams are found in order of word length, so you should get all the straight anagrams before the multi-word ones.
Re-size and move the anagram window as you please by dragging the bottom right corner with the mouse.
You can abort the Search at any time by doing another search of pressing OK. The program adds anagrams to the bottom of the list as it finds them. If there are a lot of possible anagrams they may not all be found, but you should always get at least the first thousand or so. The finder will work in the background as you edit other clues or whatever. To bring the window to the top just click on it. You can leave the anagram window open. It will be reset with a new word whenever you click the anagram button in the clue editor.
If you select an anagram in the list and press the Copy button it will be copied into the Clue Editor if it is open, or to the clipboard if not.
You can save all the anagrams or partial words to a text file by right-clicking on the list box, selecting Save to file..., and typing in a file name.
