Using the dictionary question (KPW)

mike_bike_kite · 07-25-2013, 10:36 AM

I was playing scrabble and just wanted to use the KPW dictionary as it was nearby. I understand how to look up words in a book but how can I look up a word like "Qi" in the dictionary. Where do I type?

Go to the home screen and open the dictionary as a book. Tap the top of the screen to display the menu bar, then tap the "Search" button. As you type in a word, you'll see a context-sensitive list of dictionary "head-words" that match what you're typing. Tap the word that interests you to see its definition.
