Why Advanced Filter Matters

Focus a large list into a useful study set

Instead of working through every word, users can narrow a WordBank to the pattern, level, origin or progress status that matters for the current learning objective.

ðŸ”Ī

Target a Pattern

Use Starts With, Contains and Ends With to find specific letter combinations.

📏

Control Word Length

Use greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, or an exact length where available.

ðŸŽŊ

Match the Learner

Filter by WordBank and level to create a more appropriate practice set.

📈

Use Progress Status

Focus on categories such as incorrect, unattempted, learnt or practised words where available.

Ready-to-Use Content

You do not have to build everything yourself

The software comes with predefined Rule-Based WordBanks that already organise words around spelling patterns, roots, origins and learning levels. Learners, parents, teachers and tutors can open these supplied WordBanks and begin studying without configuring the Advanced Filter first.

Predefined Learning Paths

Choose a supplied WordBank for a known rule or pattern.

Immediate Practice

Move directly into Learn, Practice or Test without building a custom filter.

Structured Progression

Use foundation, intermediate, British-pattern and championship-focused WordBanks.

Custom Control When Needed

Use Advanced Filter when the supplied WordBanks do not match the exact objective.

Complete Control

Go beyond the predefined WordBanks

Advanced Filter is an optional power tool for users who want to combine the available controls and create a highly customised study set from an existing or imported WordBank.
