Words Worth

Words Worth is a practical application that comes in handy for crossword and scrabble players to find new terms that can be used while playing.

The app comes packed with all the necessary files to be run directly from an external thumb drive on any computer without prior installation.

It's wrapped in an outdated yet well-structured layout divided into four distinct tabs, each with a different purpose, namely, wildcard, word letter, and phonetic search, along with list maintenance.

For each category, a short explanation and examples are given between the look up bar and the result list. It's recommended to read the text to get familiar on how to use the program.

The first option uses "?" to represent a single letter, while "*" can serve as one or more letters. The question mark can be used multiple times in the search, but asterisk only once. You can use the displayed examples in the app to test them out.

The second category lets you find terms based on several criteria, such as one of each contained letters and include only the typed ones. From the right, you can set the length limit for the words, and the exclusion list of unwanted characters.

The results can be copied to the clipboard. The last tab gives you the option to find terms that sound similar to the one typed. A nice addition is the ability to type in or import from a text file new words into the utility's database, expanding the vocabulary with more complex terms.

The bottom line is that Words Worth is a fun and user-friendly program designed to provide a simple yet efficient way to search for words, using wildcards, letters, and phonetic as primary criteria.
