This means that there is a lengthy scroll to return to the top. Can i make it default to start at the top of the results every time? Any tips or suggestions would be welcome. clabbers Hi There..Thanks for this great little app. I am having a slight problem that when i generate lists using in the makewords area, if the lists generated is very long, then sometime the app automatically scrolls direct to the bottom.

Since that's the only difference, then I'm afraid it does not seem worth the work to incorporate CSW. Arul,

I downloaded a CSW word list from

http://www.zyzzyva.net/

It is identical to the SOWPODS list that I use, except that the word

PHOCOMELIES

Has been removed from CSW.

Since that’s the only difference, then I’m afraid it does not seem worth the work to incorporate CSW.

And possibly some info on how to download it into your app. http://members.shaw.ca/lampwords/dicts.html Its LAMPWords, and is written for the PALM OS. However, I think the CSW word list could be extracted from the website )(pro bono). Cheers, Arul This website has some more info on the CSW word list.

At that time, it was a combination of TWL (Tournament Word List) used in North America (based on Merriam Webster), and OSWI (Official Scrabble Words International)(based on Chambers), used for tournaments for the rest of the world. This was also used for the World Scrabble Championships. In 15 May 2007, the official dictionary was changed to Collins, and the CSW came into effect (Collins Scrabble Words). I have attached two links that you might find useful: http://www.scrabble.org.au/words/refs.htm http://www.zyzzyva.net/ Hope you will be able to incorporate the CSW ! Cheers, Arul Hi Mick,

I can't find much information about it. Hi Arul, are you sure that CSW is different from the current SOWPODS? I can’t find much information about it.
