what happened to the "list word by letter" function?

Whenever I can't remember how to spell something, I'd pick the starting letter(s) of the word, then quickly browse through the list (as if I were actually using a dictionary). I've always found this to be very effective. Now, I can't find that function, so this site is totally useless to me for that. Instead, I have to enter a synonym and pick it up from that word's synonym list. VERY unfortunate and inefficient.

Why can't we have a function to display that again?

I've never posted here before, and apparently my wikipedia username doesn't apply. robert92111@ twc.com

To which feature are you referring to? It is when searching for a filter?

I am not sure how this feature was enabled. However, above the word search box was a series (in blue) of alpha letters (an sometimes first two letters). Clicking on one of those would bring up a browsable list off all those words beginning with the selected letters.

I have absolutely no idea of what you are describing. On which page did you get that list? On which wiki?
