Lines: 14 Normally you can narrow down the possibilities for the first few letters of a word to a few choices. Once you get the first few letters, scan that area of the dictionary. It doesn't take that long to spot the word you want. If you have trouble finding the word you want, try using a synonym. If a synonym won't do, look up the synonym in a thesaurus. Chances are one of the synonyms of your synonym is the word you want. It may take a minute or two to find the correct spelling but, if you do it often enough, you learn how to spell better and don't need to look up as many words. I used a dictionary to check the spelling of a word in this article, and it didn't hurt a bit. Ed Pawlak ihnp4!ihuxn!ewp
