The free ad supported version will be available from 4th Oct 2016.
It has been a long time since the last update but all good things take time and there are plenty of exciting new features.
Material Design User Interface
The user interface has been redesigned using Material Design to give a modern standard Android look and feel. My goal was to make the user interface much clearer, icons are simplified and I've used large mono-spaced fonts in the query field. You can also change the font size for the results, there's even an x-large mono-space option.
The help system has been overhauled so that you can quickly scroll through the tips and interact with the tip to see it in action.
Filter and Sort Results
Often times you will hit 500 results, far too many to wade through. So I've added sort and filter options to help you refine your results.
Press the sort icon (top right) to toggle through 4 different sorts, A to Z, Z to A, by length ascending and finally by length descending.
Press the filter icon (bottom right) to set up your filters
Blank Letters
For Scrabble fans you can use + to represent blank letters
The blank letters are highlighted green
Two Word Anagrams
Previously you would enter manchester united and CleverDic would find all the 10/6 words. Now it will try to find all word size combinations.
