CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Despite its limited-sounding name, TEA Crossword Helper provides assistance for solving almost any word puzzle. It can find a word if you know several letters or its anagram, which helps with regular and cryptic crosswords. Powerful tools find palindromes and even return words where, for example, the second letter is a vowel. By combining template, wild-card, and anagram features, you can make long words out of just about any Scrabble rack. Browsing the help file will make you want to play new games, so you can try out all the features. The registered version expands the program with new dictionaries and a console interface, but the trial version seems to be fully functional. TEA Crossword Helper appeals to any lover of word games.
