Matching Alignment

Instructions

This crossword solver lets you search using advanced patterns and options.

  • The wildcard ? will match any letter
  • Lowercase letters will only match same letter
  • Uppercase letters act as substitutes (explained below)

Word Pattern Examples

These are example of full word matching. See Matching Alignment below for more options.

  • a?? will match add, air, ant, etc
  • aXX will match add, all, etc where the two last letters are the same
  • XYXY will match mama, papa, etc
  • ????? will match any 5 letter word

Substitutes explained

Substitutes work like a ? wildcard, but with some differences:

  • Substitutes are always uppercase letters. Any letter can be used. For example aXX and aYY will give the same results.
  • A substitute matches the same letter everywhere. For example XaX matches dad, but not sad.
  • Each substitute matches a unique letter. For example ABC matches age, but not aga.
  • Substitutes don’t match letters that have already been written in lowercase. For example eAB will match elk, but not eel.
  • Substitutes can be freely mixed with ? wildcards. For example A??A matches area and lull.

Matching Alignment

Matching can be done for whole words or partial words.

Full Word Matching

Full word matching requires the whole word to match. For example a??? matches any word that begins with «a» and has 4 letters in total.

Anywhere Word Matching

Anywhere word matching searches for the pattern anywhere within the words. For example «the» matches aesthetic and brother.

Start Word Matching

Start word matching searches for the pattern at the beginning of words. For example «the» matches theorem and thesaurus.

End Word Matching

End word matching searches for the pattern at the end of words. For example «the» matches clothe and soothe.

Q:

A F Z U G L T _ 

Find the next letter in the above given letter series?

Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) O

Explanation:

Given series is A F Z U G L T _

Starts with A

A + 5 letters = F

go to end of alphabet= Z

Z — 5 letters = U

from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L

from U go one back to U, T — 5 letters = O

Second Method ::

Change the letters to their corresponding number.

A=1

B=2

C=3

Z=26

A F Z U G L T _

1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ?

Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26

the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21

the 5th and 7th numbers = 27,

so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27.

27 — 12 = 15,

so the letter is O.

Q:

Missing Letter Challenge

letter_comes1498888967.jpg image

Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) L

Explanation:

Here the letters follow the rule (AxZ)+(A+Z)

The number corresponding to the letters are used in the rule

A=1, Z=26 => 26×1 + 1 + 26 = 26+27 = 53 =  053

(LxP)+(L+P) = (12 x16) + 12 + 16 = 192+28 = 220

Similarly (11×12) + 11 + 12 => 132 + 23 = 155
