Word Games / Solver

The database for the word games is drawn from the British English Source Lexicon. This is one of the highest capacity databases of modern English available and has been exclusively produced by Oxford University Press. It covers an extensive range of subject material including references to technical, scientific, historical and many other terms.

The word games have therefore been developed to provide a stimulating challenge to help you to discover new words and broaden your vocabulary.

You can take on the challenge of 10 different word games set to any one of three levels of difficulty.

• The skill levels work as follows:

(A) Beginner: Approximately 63,000 words (student level)
(B) Intermediate: Approximately 128,000 words (general and business use)
(C) Advanced: Approximately 260,000 words (specialist use)

• 10 word games:

Hangman, User Hangman, Anagrams, User Anagrams, Beat the Clock, Jumble, Mumbo-Jumbo, Memory, Minefield and Hide & Seek

Pronunciations

Pronunciations are not given for ordinary, everyday words such as bake, baby, beach, bewilder, boastful, or budget, since it is assumed that native speakers of English do not, as a rule, have problems with the pronunciation of such words.

In the Concise Oxford Dictionary, the principle followed is that pronunciations are given only where they are likely to cause problems for the native speaker of English, in particular for foreign words, scientific and other technical terms, rare words, words with unusual stress patterns, and words in which the standard pronunciation is disputed. For example, full pronunciations are given for the following words: baba ganoush, baccalaureate, beatific, bijouterie, bucolic, and buddleia.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is used in representing the standard accent of English as spoken in the south of England (sometimes called Received Pronunciation or RP). It is recognized that, although the English of southern England is the pronunciation given, many variations are heard in standard speech in other parts of the English-speaking world.

The symbols used for English words, with their values, are given below.

Consonants

The following have their usual English values: b, d, f, h, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, w, and z.

Other symbols are used as follows:

g	gel	x	loch	ð	this	j	yes
tʃ	chip	ŋ	ring	ʃ	she
dʒ	jar	θ	thin	ʒ	decision

Vowels

ə ago	ə: her	ei day
i sit	i: see	əʊ no
i cosy	ɔ: saw	ɪə near
ɒ hot	u: too	ɔɪ boy
ʌ run		ʊə poor
ʊ put

60

(a) before /l/, /m/, or /n/ indicates that the syllable may be realized with a syllabic l, m,
or n, rather than with a vowel and a consonant, e.g. /'bʌt(ə)n/ rather than /'bʌtan/.
(r) indicates an r that is sometimes sounded when a vowel follows, as in drawer, cha-chaing.

Foreign pronunciations

Foreign words and phrases, whether naturalized or not, are always given an anglicized pronunciation. The anglicized pronunciation represents the normal pronunciation used by native speakers of standard English when using the word in an English context. A foreign pronunciation is also given for words taken from other languages (principally French, Dutch, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish) where this is appreciably different from the anglicized form and where the other language is familiar to a reasonable number of English speakers.

Foreign-language transcriptions are based on current national standards. Regional variations have not been given, except in the case of Spanish transcriptions, where both Castilian and American Spanish variants are given. Transcriptions are broad, and many symbols, identical to those used for transcribing English, have similar values to those of RP. In a few cases, where there is no English equivalent to a foreign sound, a symbol has been added to the inventory. The additional symbols used to represent foreign pronunciations are given below.
