Organizing: Records with the same first characters can be collected in one file in existing dictionary base, or merged with another file in base.

Editing: You can add/delete records, contained in some file, in/from existing dictionary base.

• View tool - lets you to view all records that start with words starting with pattern.
• Search tool - searchs in dictionary base for records that answer to request.
• Guess tool - tries to guess words similar to pattern.
• Wander tool - returns random word (records) from file (WANDERWORDS in dictionary base directory or .enruswords in $HOME).
