When you type letters into the Find Word box, you can include the '*' character (known as a wildcard) when you don't know exactly how to spell a word, or when you want to ask for everything that begins or ends with a particular sequence of letters.

For example, to see all the words and phrases beginning with refuse, enter refuse* into the Find Word box:

This produces a results list:

[shrink]

The left-hand side of the list shows the words and phrases which match the search; some of these are entries in their own right (such as refuse) and some are contained within other entries (such as refuse battle, found within the entry for battle). Clicking on the match on the left will take you straight to that point in the entry, while clicking on the word on the right will take you to the top of the entry in which the match is found.
