Still holding on to that crossword puzzle that you've kept coming back to for days, but just can't figure out the last few words you need? I found an online site called More Words that can help!
Here's how it works. Say you have a three-letter word ending in 'r', but for the life of you can't come up with the answer. Enter '--r' in to More Words, and it will return a list of words all containing three letters ending in 'r'. Or maybe you have 'pu--le'; You'll get back puddle, pungle, purfle, purple, and puzzle! Or maybe you want to know every word that contains the letters 'sswo' in the middle. You would enter '*sswo*', and get back that list of words. There are even more complex searches you can do, outlined on their examples page.
The only problem with this solution is that you'll have to have a computer, or access to one, and it will have to have Internet access. This probably isn't going to be a viable solution as you sit on the train during your morning commute. There is always the Franklin CWP-206 Pocket Crossword Solver. Twenty-five dollars might be a small investment in your sanity!
Pretty cool, huh? Of course you could use this site for a lot more than just solving printable crosswords, but it sure does come in handy! Cheating? Maybe! Satisfaction of finally finishing that damn puzzle, definitely!
