[SOLVED] Search in a dictionary incomplete words software
tn_dang:
The interface of Logos reminds me of WordWeb which may have that capability since its online version does.

IainB:
I have added an edit to my post above:
EDIT 2017-09-14:
The plain text in the above image is in the spoiler below:
Spoiler LOGOS - The Word-Searching Application.
Notes for @Contro:
There is a brilliantly useful little word-searching application called LOGOS that I have used for years in helping solve crosswords with partial words, anagrams, "hidden" words and palindromes.
Just click the link to get the installer (the link is on Wayback): Logos 2.3 for Windows (Build 124) Released 27/2/2002
<http://web.archive.org/web/20020603035830/http://homepage.ntlworld.com:80/jeremy.riley/Logos/Downloads.html>
Install and start up.
To find your word, I selected the Crossword tab in the Logos GUI, typed in Gua*la*ra, and Logos promptly displayed "guadalajara":
The Logos download installs the English dictionary by default.
There are other languages for the user to download, but I haven't tried those.
The application is portable (can go in any directory), but the files need to be filed in and follow the structure of subdirectories as below:

Screen clipping taken: 2017-09-13 07:43
The application has a trial licence that does not expire. The Help file is very informative.
After some further searching, I have found that there is a newer, but inactive website for Logos: <http://www.moorscape.com/logos/>
- where one can download what seems to be the latest version: Logos 2.6 for Windows (Build 127) Released 20/12/2005 - which version seems to install and work just fine.
However, the website seems to have not been updated since 2005, and at the Order page <http://www.moorscape.com/logos/Order.html> it says the software is no longer being updated and there's no need to register (pay) for use:
Due to other commitments I am no longer developing or updating Logos. I have therefore suspended new registations (sic) I don't want you to pay and be disappointed that there are no updates. However please contact me if you have any queries.
