it's a pattern search, not just a character count search. check the instructions and examples, they're pretty straight-forward.
wow. of course! that worked like a charm. this just made my week :)
It's nine letters, but there are repeats in specific places. Letters 1 and 6 are the same, 3 and 5 are the same, 4 and 9 are the same, limiting your options.
agreed but how can such a pattern be entered into a scrabble word finder?
No idea about that because I've never used one - I just rolled my own from python.
