One Across - Search for Crossword Puzzle Answers

http://www.oneacross.com/

For those readers stuck at 48 down in a challenging crossword
puzzle, don't despair. Today's site offers a remarkably
successful database devised to track down that elusive missing
word.

"Welcome to OneAcross, a unique site for puzzle help. Search for
crossword puzzle answers or get help with cryptograms. ...
Crossword Clue Search ... Having trouble getting the last word in
that crossword puzzle? Having trouble getting the first? See if
our search engine can help! Unlike pure
pattern dictionary searches, we actually analyze the clue as
well." - from the website

The site works simply by asking for the given clue and the number
of letters it contains. Although specified letters may be
included, the widest results are achieved without the inclusion
of any letters and increases the possibility that the word,
unlikely though it may seem initially, is the one being sought.
In fact, this online database is so good at ferreting out those
totally obscure words which can trip up even experience players,
that the List recommends using this site only as a last resort.
