A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word.There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.

Students will be surprised by how often they see their Word Up vocabulary words in the real world. Isabel Beck, an expert on direct vocabulary instruction, created an ongoing game called Word Wizard in which students can earn credit on unit tests for using vocabulary words in their speech and writing or for bringing in examples of the word from the real world. Set aside a specific time in class to ask for any Word Wizard examples for students to share.

Since 2010, we have been serving various industries across the continents with language translation & localization. It just took us a spark of formalizing an informal act of service which led to the inception of Wordwizard services.

Word Wizard is a very fun game that is found under the games section. You can play the game four times a day for free, and after that you can play eight more times for only 500 Waja Credits per game. When you start the game, the base prize is 3,000 WC times the number of letters in the word, but every wrong guess subtracts 1,000 WC from that. If you guess all the letters in the word with 7 or fewer incorrect guesses, you'll get the reward. There are six categories of words. Below is a list of all currently known words in the six categories.

Because Word Wizard has both an open movable alphabet board and more structured pre-made and make-your-own quiz options, it is an ideal tool for a wide range of students, including those with special needs, ELL students, and advanced students. Introduce your students to the movable alphabet by giving them picture cards of three-letter words and advance to small objects (such as small plastic animal models, game pieces, or small household items) to spell or prompt short sentence creation. Use the pre-made spelling lists for an organized system of spelling practice that increases in complexity, or insert your own weekly list for students to practice on Word Wizard before taking the in-class test.

Word Wizard for Kids is a spelling, phonics, and short sentence-building practice tool for emerging spellers. The spelling word lists and the option to create your own spelling study list are key features. First, create usernames for each student. Then, each kid chooses his or her username and taps on Movable Alphabet or Spelling Quiz. On the movable alphabet board, place letters into boxes as the narrator speaks each individual sound. The student can build a word or sentence. In the quiz mode, dozens of built-in word lists pop up, as well as the option to create a new list, which is as easy as entering the list title and typing in the words. The options to customize include changing the voice speed and tone, showing only certain letters in the movable alphabet for beginners, and more. On the open spelling board, an occasional mispronunciation can get through. Unless students are coached to know that the slight red glow around a word means it's misspelled, they may not keep trying for the correct spelling if the pronunciation sounds right. Spelling lists and tests are accurate, and they won't let kids move forward until they spell the word correctly.

Word Wizard helps kids improve their spelling by creating their own lists and playing with word-building on their own.The spelling lists and the ability to make your own lists for kids to practice for their school spelling tests make it a very useful language tool, especially in the classroom. It can be fun for kids to spell their own words or sentences and hear them spoken back by a computerized voice, too. Be aware this is not a perfect word-to-voice translator: Kids may misspell some words on the open spelling board and still have them auto-pronounced correctly; teachers may want to clue students into looking at the red glow around incorrectly spelled words and remind them to keep trying or ask for help so misspelling isn't reinforced.

Kids can spell their own words or sentences and hear them spoken back by a computerized voice. Quizzes are essentially rote recollection, although when kids complete a word, they get a sparkly animation as a reward.

By playing on the talking board, kids learn letters and letter sounds. (Note: The pronunciations are not 100 percent accurate.) Kids can also take practice spelling tests, which may transfer to increased classroom-based testing confidence.

Detailed progress and test reports. Choose the voice's speed, tone, and U.K., Australian, or American English. Spelling lists and tests give hints and won't let kids move forward until they spell the word correctly.

This app is great for letting students have independent practice with spelling words. Although there are not extension activities with this program, it is wonderful for the basic purpose that it serves and the students love using it.

early 15c., "philosopher, sage," from Middle English wys "wise" (see wise (adj.)) + -ard. Compare Lithuanian žynystė "magic," žynys "sorcerer," žynė "witch," all from žinoti "to know." The ground sense is perhaps "to know the future." The meaning "one with magical power, one proficient in the occult sciences" did not emerge distinctly until c. 1550, the distinction between philosophy and magic being blurred in the Middle Ages. As a slang word meaning "excellent" it is recorded from 1922.

Wise man was in Old English. Wise guy is attested from 1896, American English; wise-ass (n.) by 1966, American English (probably a literal sense is intended by the phrase in the 1607 comedy "Westward Hoe" by Dekker and Webster). Wisenheimer, with mock German or Yiddish surname suffix, first recorded 1904.

"clever person," 1914, probably a special use of whiz "something remarkable" (1908), an extended sense of whizz; or perhaps a shortened and altered form of wizard. Noun phrase whiz kid is from 1930s, a take-off on a radio show's quiz kid.

The game is set in a wizard's cave where the player must spell words to overcome obstacles. The player spells words by typing on the keyboard and they are simultaneously displayed on the screen. The spoken commands and words are delivered in American English, through the computer audio output. Ten lists of words are provided for spelling, in graduated difficulty. You can also make custom lists. A list is selected at the start of each game.

It features a multilevel cave which the player's joystick guided character (selection of boy or girl) explores with the objective of finding a number of crystals in order to exit the dungeon. The character uses a flashlight to illuminate his/her way around the dungeon to find the crystals, which are attached to the dungeon wall in random locations.

The cave features a number of obstacles: crevasses to fall or jump down a level, rocks to trip over, puddles to slip and fall in, and scorpions and snakes to sting you. Your character can jump over these using a joystick button. If you fall or get stung, you have to use one of the 5 bandaids you started with. There are ladders to go up and down levels safely.

At intervals, the "Word Wizard" appears and commands you to spell a word. If you type the word correctly, you get rewarded with a new bandaid, and a congratulatory "well done!" or similar encouragement. If you wait too long or spell it wrongly, you get admonished, "You need work on that one!" or "It's getting darker!" (and your flashlight loses energy).[2]

In the context of magic, synonyms for wizard include magician, sorcerer, enchanter, and conjurer. Sorcerer and enchanter also have female-specific versions: sorceress and enchantress (which is more commonly used than enchanter).

Sometimes, a distinction is made in which the word wizard is used for males and the word witch is used for females, but both wizard and witch can be used regardless of gender. The word warlock typically refers to a male witch.

This sense of wizard is commonly used in terms that specify what the person is good at, such as math wizard or computer wizard. The word wiz is a shortening of this sense and can be used in the same way (as can the spelling variant whiz). A similar word is ace.

The first records of the word wizard in English come from the 1400s. It comes from the Middle English wisard, from the word wise. The suffix -ard is used in words referring to a person who frequently engages in a specific activity or is known for a specific characteristic (in this case, for their knowledge and wisdom).

Word Wizard is no longer run at a national level, however we have made available resources which schools can use to organise their own competition in house, or within their cluster. View the 'Word Wizard resources' tab below to access these and for more information.

Word Wizard was organised by SCILT, Scotland's National Centre for Languages and CISS, the Confucius Institute for Scotland's Schools, with support from the University Council for Modern Languages Scotland and the Universities of Strathclyde, St Andrews, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh College. Word Wizard is adapted from the Spelling Bee competition, organised by Routes into Languages and devised by Jane Driver of the Voyager Academy.

Word lists for each language and level can be downloaded below, and schools can use them in whatever way is useful to them. View the 'practice tools' tab above for ideas and resources to help pupils learn the word lists.

straight away when you mention wizards in SW i think of Lars calling Obi-wan it, but you are correct that its said in epiode 1.....but theres alot of things in episode 1 that need to be left forgotten....

A wizard control consists of a series of pages, each of which helps the user perform a step in the overall task. (For example, specifying a path to a driver might be one step in the overall task of connecting a printer.) Most pages in a wizard contain controls that gather input from the user. When the wizard finishes, the task is complete.
