The Longest Word is an application that allows you to find the longest possible word from the letters you have entered.

To find the longest word enter letters divided by comma (,) or full stop (.) (example: w, o, r, d), 15 letters is a maximum.
 
I am not sure about what is proposed usage for this application. It works somehow, but I am not sure dictionary is perfect. When I enter "a.p.p.l.i.c.a.t.i.o.n" - it do not offer word "application" itself :)

Other question is - why one needs to separate letters with dots or commas? You will not mistake one letter for two anyway so there is no need to persuade user doing this - let him enter letters clinging to each others (like in normal word) and then split programmatically.

Also it would be great if you improve usability by providing custom-drawn field for entering word (with bigger letters) and custom graphic keyboard - otherwise system keyboard hides or resizes your window, in the way which you could not predict or manage.

Thanks for good exercise anyway! :)

Thanks for this review.
You are absolutely right, dictionary is not perfect. I found some with about 140 000 words. I have added application :) so you can try it now.

Actualy you don't need to separate letters (this is just in description). The matter is that, in some other languages one letter can be presented with two signs, for example dj is one letter.

For the design I will think about. So far I don't have many downloads and I will leave this for now.
