Yes, but how to enter the 's-sharp' character?
Press and hold "s" letter - and choose "s-sharp".

On my 'iPad Air' that doesn't work. No other s-letters appear :?

Yes indeed, with English keyboard it works.
That is very strange because in the English words-list there was no "ß"-character whereas in the Dutch words-list 6307 "ß"-characters have been changed to "ss".
Apple has missed something ;)
Thank you very much!

I have updated the file "- Read Me.txt" because the content did not refer to the latest changes.
And I have made some small cosmetic changes in "Word search.txt"

I did an AASCI character search with your recently-posted (and excellent) code contribution for doing that, and I think it is CHR$(223).

Yes, but the problem is that I can not enter it via my keyboards.
My keyboards (virtual AND external) are in the "Dutch" mode.

Tricky. Could you substitute for some other keyboard character that is rarely (or never) used?

I could choose the "English" version of the keyboard configuration.
The "ss" however is a correct substitute for the s-sharp.

I have added the usage as spelling checker.
If you enter a complete word as "Pattern", hence without place-holders, then the program searches as spelling checker. It searches for words which match or almost match that 'pattern'.
The method is not fast, but the addition was simple to realize.
More details can be found in the file "- Read Me.txt".
