Examples
Before you use the result
Word tools can narrow options, clean text, or show patterns, but they do not know the rules of every puzzle, class assignment, publication style, or house dictionary. Check the result against the context where you plan to use it.
For learning, review why a result matched instead of copying the first answer. That keeps the tool useful as practice, not only lookup.
