We added a chain icon between letter boxes to indicate whether the letters in question are connected or not. If you are unsure of a specific letter but know that it is or is not conjoined to the preceding or subsequent letter, you can indicate this by selecting the appropriate setting. This will narrow the number of results returned in line with the criterion you entered.

May 3, 2022

We added two new features.

Firstly, we placed a + button before the first box. Thus, you will be able to add a blank box before the first letter.*

Secondly, in the Similar Spellings tab, we now search, based on the position of the letters in the word. For example, when you search for لبیب, we also search for the letter ی for the first ب. But we do not try ی for the second ب, because ب resembles ی at the initial position, but not at the final position.

* This feature was suggested by one of our users, Esra Demirkoparan.

 

May 1, 2022

We corrected 1 word upon the notification of one of our members, Assist. Prof. Muhammed İkbâl Güler.

 

April 15, 2022

We added two new features.

Firstly, if you enter a blank box next to alternative letters in a box, we also take into account the absence of letters in that part of the word in the search. Therefore, from now on, you will be able to see the results that do not contain any letters in the relevant section.*

Secondly, we added two new tabs, Riq’ah and Diwani, under Similar Spellings, since letters that look alike can change in different script styles. Thus, you will now be able to view results with similar letters in different calligraphic styles in different tabs.

* This feature was suggested by one of our members, John Zacharias Crist.
