3). Optionally filter the results to
include or exclude words with specific properties and/or that match
phonological, orthographic or prosodic patterns.
Flags for all available options (i.e. selection
criteria) are shown in the fields to the right. To
activate a criterion select either the INClude or
EXClude radio button and edit the options as required
(follow links for an explanation of terms and
options). For example, to include only nouns in the
output, enter N in the "Common Part of
Speech" text box, and select the adjacent
INClude button.

To filter the output using pattern
matches, type the required patterns into the text
boxes to the right. Multiple patterns should be
separated by spaces or placed on separate lines. Each
word output will match at least one pattern in any
non-empty text box (as well as meeting any
inclusion/exclusion criteria set above).
SIMPLE LETTER MATCH
(? = single letter , *
= one or more letters ); e.g. ?illN.B.
Output for simple word lists (i.e. pattern lists that
contain no wild characters) is in the order in which
the words are input. Output is otherwise
alphabetical.
Alternative matching characters can be grouped in
square brackets; e.g. [bcr]at matches bat, cat and
rat.
