Dictionaries
¬ 

The program precompiles dictionaries into a highly indexed form to do its search.  It stores these compiled dictionaries in files with the extension .xdict.

¬ To make a new dictionary, choose Create... from the Dictionary menu.  ¬ Select a file that contains a list of words, one per line.  ¬ It may take some time to properly index the dictionary, so please be patient.   ¬ To use a dictionary to finish crossword puzzles, choose Use... from the Dictionary menu and select a .xdict file.

¬

¬	Try and avoid duplicate words in the dictionary.  They won't cause severe problems, but they will throw off the heuristics.

¬	The default dictionary is compiled from /usr/dict/words.  A much larger one can be built from /usr/dict/web2.

¬	A large dictionary makes it much easier to fill frames, but you'll probably not recognize most of the words that appear in a completed puzzle.
