Our Reviews Have Fans, Part 2I like your review recommendations, it shows you have evaluated the the whole range of available products, unlike PCmag, which only evaluates a few major software (and probably was suggested by the authors themselves).. Focus on the quality content, and people will come. It's a nice refreshing website, hope to see it grow.

NANY Release: Ballistic: an easy list filter
Description This program was designed to aid in making word puzzles. The authour publishes a childrens' magazine, and Ballistic helps in making custom crosswords, word searches and other word games. You can use the pre-made wordlists or even a custom wordlist, and easily filter the list to match certain criteria. It doesn't generate puzzles or games, but you can use it to find words that will fit in your puzzles. You can easily find a word that matches any pattern. I made this program for myself and have hosted it for a few people, but it has never been officially released. This is my first public mention of the program. Features •Use any wordlist (simple text files) •Comes with a collection of pre-made lists •Find-as-you-type •Reports the number of Matches •Anagrams •Permutations •Wildcard Matching •Typoglycemic matches •Export Results •Copy Results to the Clipboard •Quick List-switching menu •Quickly open the list in current text editor •Full-featured GUI with lots of options Planned Features Update the word lists Fix bugs Maybe create an installer. Screenshots Please visit the documentation page for more images Usage Installation Just extract the zip file to a folder and run the exectuable. There isn't any installer at this time. Using the Application A brief description of how a user will use the Application. What tips does a user need to get going? Uninstallation Just exit the application and delete all the files. Tips The searches are faster if you disable the progressbar. But the progressbar is fun. Known Issues Typoglycemiacize List is really slow for long lists. If you stop the typoglycemiacize process midterm it won't save. I can fix that. |
