There's are a lot of useful new features added and Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:18:59 GMT Richard Johnson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/818 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/818 You can do this with two criteria: the first is what you already have; click Add to add another criterion.  For the second one, cloose Pattern, then type Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:04:35 GMT timzter_too http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/817 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/817 Is there a way in Zyzzyva to get anagrams of a string of letters such that you want certain letters fixed in place? For example, the anagrams for "AEGINRR" Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:04:18 GMT timzter_too http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/816 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/zyzzyva-users/message/816 How do I update the word list in the Zyzzyva program to keep abreast with the latest playable Scrabble words?

I agree.. it should be good! Perhaps the next update will include REGEX, and maybe these ones too...

Nice: How about Anagram Match: ????ING Pattern Match: ????[^I][^N][^G] with one less search criterion. 656 words for the full-fat dictionary.

I also used the same slightly inelegant technique and couldn't find a better method.
