Hi netland, I am currently trying to make a software to help people to resolve crosswords . I would like to find an algorithm which will allow me to find all the words m atching, for example ??i?ing. I would like to know how can I index my dictionary to find easily a word know ing only some of its letters. And which algorithm would I use to access this di ctionary. (Any pointer to PD software of this kind would also be appreciated). Thanx in advance. David Geldreich (Ecole Centrale Paris)
