This release includes anagram solving/creating, scrabble assistant and regular expression searching. New features are colour-coded results with full word hyperlinking, proper implementation of WordNet 2.0 relations, VGA support, bug fixes, and a 'sounds like' search for faster devices.

The best part is it's FREE, but I do ask for donations (though not required) so I can keep my site up and running, thanks!!!

Installation:
Firstly, you need WordNet 2.1 from Princeton. The WordNet 2.1 dictionary in a default install on a PC is in c:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\dict. The dictionary needs to be copied to the storage card in the form of (eg) \Storage Card\WN21\dict\.

Once you have installed the official dictionary, download the Windows Mobile port of WordNet, download the CAB file for your platform, copy it into any folder on your device, and click to install.

Update Description:
v2.7:
- Updated to the WordNet 2.1 database standards.
- Added a scrabble allowed words search.
- Fixed the spacing issue in hyperlinked results.
- Fixed a problem with 'Back' on the anagram screen.
- Replaced the 'sounds like' engine and gave it controllable levels of sensitivity.
- Added some nice new colours.

v2.6:
- Added full colour-coding, formatting and full word hyperlinking to search results.
- Fixed bug where a space appended by selecting a 'suggested word' from the popup keypad causes 0 search results.
- Known Issue: spacing in the results definition is not quite right - there are extra spaces between any punctuation. Hopefully this will be addressed in the next release.

v2.5.03:
- Added 'Sounds Like' search (warning: for fast devices only).
- Fixed morph bugs.
- Updated to full WordNet 2.0 relations.
- Added a font size/bold selection to options - particularly for VGA devices, as the font was too small to read in the higher resolution.
- As of this version, the cause of the mystery crash on some WM2003SE devices is known and a fix is available via the .Net Compact Framework service pack 3.

v2.5.02:
- (hopefully) Removed warning message on 2003SE devices stating that the software is for a previous version.
- Fixed landscape mode display for anagram and wildcard search screens.
- Changed focus behaviour so that focus is automatically in the search box for any given search screen upon first load.
- Wrapped the dictionary select dialog with an exception catcher in the hope that if this crashes on a 2003SE device someone might be able to get me a specific error message.

v2.5.01:
- Fixed error with leading wildcards in wildcard search (searches not conforming to regular expressions, even though a regular expression search is not being carried out). Also, made non-conforming regular expressions error message to remove ambiguity.

v2.5:
- Fixed missing wildcard search dll.
- Added Anagram solver/maker.
- Added scrabble solver.
- Added Regular Expression Search.

v2.0:
- Added Wildcard search.

Giving it a 3. I haven't tried, but looks good. the .Net Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 link is broke or MS doesn't support it anymore.
