■ Using Words as Patterns
When you enter a word as a pattern,
The Official Scrabble®Players Dictionary
builds a
Scrabble®list of words containing the pattern at
the beginning, middle, or end.
For example, the pattern “art”above was used to
build “artsy,”“harts,”“quarts,”and other words.
Adding Letters to the Beginning
or Ends of Words
Let’s say that your tiles are PTHANRI and part of the
board looks like this (H is at the edge of the board):
To find words ending in AH, type an asterisk (*) in your
pattern. The asterisk stands for any number of letters.
1. At the Ready message, type this:
2. Press .
3. Type your tiles.
AH
4. Press or .
5. Press to move down the Scrabble®list.
6. When you’re done, press .
■ Using Asterisks in Patterns
You can type asterisks in the beginnings,
middles, and ends of your patterns.
When you type a pattern with no asterisks,
The Official Scrabble®Players Dictionary
treats
the pattern as if it had asterisks at its beginning
and end. For example, when you enter “art”,
the pattern works as if you entered “*art*”.
When you type a pattern with asterisks, no
other asterisks are assumed. For example, the
pattern “*ah”works as “*ah”and ah*”works as
“ah*”.

■Using Question Marks in Patterns
You can type as many question marks in your
patterns as you like. Each question mark stands
for any single letter.
When you type a question mark in a pattern, no
other question marks or asterisks are assumed.
So, in the above example, you typed question
marks at the beginning and end of the pattern to
indicate that “l??a”could occur anywhere in a
word. If you wanted to build a list of words
beginning or ending with “l??a”, you would omit
one of the asterisks.
