I discovered that, if a new word of 9 or 10 letters happens to be a newly-recognized plural of a (usually) pre-2006 noun, then there is no mention of that new...
... Thanks for posting these! I've corrected a number of them already, but not all of them. (Thanks to Dominick Mancine for the ones that were already...
This problem actually affects many old root words that have been given new inflections that are longer than 8 letters. Some adjectives have become nouns or...
First, as my first post to zyzzyva-users, I'd like to say that I am very impressed by zyzzyva and I'm very grateful to Mike for developing it and sharing it...
... You're welcome! Thank you for your enthusiasm. :-) ... I have a Bugzilla installation I've been using for Zyzzyva bugs, features, etc. I haven't made it...
Zyzzyva users, I've finished my first crack at condensing the long words into root words plus inflections plus parts of speech. I've rolled all my changes...
Well, I've been digging into the latest build of Zyzzva running it in "cardbox" mode, where it keeps track of which words you get right and automatically...
... I agree that it would help if the cardbox quizzing were easier to get at. One idea I've had in this area is to eliminate the "add words to cardbox"...
I like that idea of moving the cardbox functionality down to the "question order" section, and I would even go so far as to make it the default whenever a new...
... I honestly haven't started yet. I'm very new to studying the OWL words, so I wanted to start with a tool that did exhaustive drilling of 2 and 3 letter...
... You can do each of those in Zyzzyva with a Word List Recall quiz, where the search specification is "Pattern Match: A?", etc. If you want to do all 52...
... What I've done in my own studying (er, I mean testing) is to have five separate cardbox quizzes: 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, and 8s. I've done this by starting a...
... Yep, each cardbox has its own predetermined interval and window. The interval determines the mean value for when the question is scheduled next, and the...
... Yes, I found the individual word list recall quizzes, and yes, it was the inability to run the combination all at once that was a problem. I considered...
Can Zyzzyva - or any other word study software readers can think of - produce the "blanagrams" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanagram) of a rack, without the...
... Yep... this functionality is not in the Search tab (yet), but you can find it by selecting Word->Blank Anagram from the menu. An input box will appear......
Thanks to both people who have responded. Will try the suggestions. I realised this morning (I think) that my own suggestion contains a superfluous search...
The outcome of trying out the suggestions (using SOWPODS dictionary) are as follows. "this functionality is not in the Search tab (yet), but you can find it by...
For its lexicon called "SOWPODS", Zyzzyva has been using a somewhat incorrect word list taken from the ISC web site. Thanks to many people for pointing me to...
Is pattern search my only option? i.e. Length: 8 Pattern: *[AEIOU]*[AEIOU]*[AEIOU]*[AEIOU]*[AEIOU]* Anyone? This would be perfect candidate for to be added to...
... The way I do it is this: Length: Min 8, Max 8 Consists of: Min 62%, Max 63% AEIOU Not the most intuitive, I know... I'm planning to have a "Number of ...
... How about a variation of consists of that accepts counts rather than percentages? The above is not very intuitive but I think this would be: Length: Min 8,...
Thanks for your work Michael - you said the next version will come out in 2 weeks or so? Will it be in that version? I think you also said a while ago that you...
... Unfortunately, no print functionality will be in the upcoming version, but you will be able to save word lists in a few different formats. I do hope to...
... Yes, I like that idea, thanks! In fact I originally intended to do that, and probably will do it at some point. For now, "Number of Vowels" is an...
