To find prefixes, suffixes, and other parts of
words, type asterisks (*) in a word. Each as-
terisk stands for any series of letters.

NOTE: When you type an asterisk at the be-
ginning of a word, Spelling Ace may take a
while to find matching words.

1. Type a word with one or more 

’s.

2. Press ENTER.

3. Press 

 to view more matching words.

4. Press CLEAR.

Finding Parts of Words

 More Ways to Use Asterisks

You can use 

’s to find lists of unusual

words. For example, enter 

x

 to find words

that end with an 

x

. In addition, you can type

both ?’s and 

’s in a word, but there is no

reason to type them consecutively.
