For a while I've been thinking about creating a crossword helper application using the preferred Australian English spelling dictionary I created. Rather than it simply being an idea in my head I decided to write the first version which is now available at www.CrosswordHelper.com.au.
The first version simply enables you to check a word to see whether or not the word exists and is correctly spelt. There's also a link to enable you to check the meaning of the word using the online UK Oxford English dictionary. Currently there isn't an Australian online dictionary so the UK Oxford has to do for now.
For scrabble this means people can check if a word is correctly spelt. A cheat people often do is to check words around the word they'd like, so this helps avoid this little rouse. For crosswords this will enable people to check if they're using the correct spelling and the meaning of the word.
If there is sufficient interest based on traffic to the web app, I hope to enable people to enter the letters they know for a word and question marks for letters they don't know, and then return a list of possible words.
