This electronic dictionary and thesaurus helps solve crossword puzzles, even those in the world-renowned New York Times. The palm-sized device provides 325,000 clues and answers from the third edition of Merriam-Webster’s Crossword Puzzle Dictionary, and its thesaurus has 500,000 synonyms and antonyms. The QWERTY keyboard allows you to quickly input a crossword clue and the number of letters in the answer; the touch of a button produces a list of associated words. When you are missing only a few letters, simply input question marks for the missing letters (B?ro??e) and the device generates the answer (Baroque). The integrated dictionary has a comprehensive list of words and subjects often encountered by puzzlers, including poets, presidents, celebrities, athletes, and geography. Dictionary entries are sortable alphabetically, by number of letters, or by common categories. The device has a phonetic spelling aid, it defines often-confused words (like affect and effect), and has 13 word games. Includes two CR-2032 batteries. 3 1/2″ H x 4 3/4″ L x 1/2″ D. (4 oz.)
