As for point 0 (feedback on defs), I think M. Thelen welcomes corrections that bring Zyzzyva in line with Merriam Webster or the relevant source definitions....
I've been studying the 3s and 4s. I have most of them memorized so I moved on to studying anagrams and hooks for this subset of words. While testing myself...
Just some suggestions: Point #1: If you open the words\north-american\owl2-lwl.txt file found in the subdirectory where your Zyzzyva was installed you can ...
Yes, I'm very grateful for the tool, fairly recently greatly enhanced with a lot of definitions. It's great to have all this for free. Thank you again...
Hello, I am a new user of zyzzyva. First of all, you're awesome, Michael. Thanks for such commitment to making the best study tool out there. My wife and I...
This may help you: Go to Tools|Reschedule Cardbox Contents... In "Shift words..." pick, say 50 And this is what may help you: set up a search specification to...
Add a read/writable field that allows for notes. For instance, if I'm in cardbox (either before or after the answer is input, depending on user preference),...
Thanks for the info. I just looked into trying what you said, and it's getting closer. I hadn't figured out that I could limit the quizzing from the cardbox...
Couple other requests: Any way to set up preferences for loading, quizzing, etc to "Anagrams with Hooks" so that selection always is default or first in the...
If you know all the anagrams and hooks for a given alphagram then you know the anagrams regardless of the hooks. Duh. Seems like a stupid statement that...
Apologies all around if a similar request has been posted many a time before. Is anyone aware of a set of online directions - independent of the information in...
Here's what I do: Â Use the Search feature to get the word list you want, using the drop-down list on the left to select your search criteria, like Word...
please forward me a basic "how to" sheet should you receive one. thank you. sally starr ... Apologies all around if a similar request has been posted many a...
I thought I saw this asked and answered recently but couldn't find it on a quick troll through the archives, so pardon the re-asking: If I've been doing...
If you are running *Windows Vista*: Copy all the **.db* files in: C:\Users\*<user-id>*\.zyzzyva\quiz\data\OWL2+LWL\ If you are running *Windows XP*: Copy all...
I'm trying to install Zyzzyva on a secondhand laptop with SuSE Linux 6.1. When I execute the installer I get an "error in loading shared libraries: undefined...
... Hi Wes, SuSE Linux 6.1 is too old, and is most likely missing the necessary library files that Zyzzyva needs. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of...
... That said, you may be able to compile it from source using your existing SuSE 6.1. I haven't tried this or investigated it, but you should at least do the...
Here's another "newbie-to-zyzzyva" question: Is there a way to print out search results on paper? I used to be able to do that with maven in the old days but...
I don't believe that Zyzzva is capable of printing but its very easy to create and save a list that you can print in MS Word or Notepad or whatever text editor...
Can the pattern match be set to NOT ... Say I want to search for all 7-letter words that include the letters ING but don't end in ING, how would I go about it?...
... Thank you for your excellent work Kevin. I now have a series of printouts to give to a colleague who has Zyzzyva but is not yet online. -- Geoff Cooper...
I've found a two-stage solution that works, though it's slightly inelegant: 1) Create the list of unwanted words, by searching on the single criterion Pattern...
Try this: Length: 7-7 Include: ING Pattern: *[^I][^N][^G] 442 words found The caret symbol (^) immediately after the opening square bracket will search for all...
... Nice: How about Anagram Match: ????ING Pattern Match: ????[^I][^N][^G] with one less search criterion. 656 words for the full-fat dictionary. Cheers Ev PS...
Good try, but not quite right - that'll knock out anything that has ANY of I in 5th, N in 6th or G in 7th, so words like AGNAILS wrongly get excluded. Nick D. ...
