Programs to open WORDLIST file

Step 2. Create association of Desktop Poet with WORDLIST files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WORDLIST file to open in the Desktop Poet application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WORDLIST file with the Desktop Poet program.

Step 3. Update Desktop Poet to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Desktop Poet program with the Desktop Poet Word List Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mariner Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WORDLIST file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The WORDLIST file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WORDLIST files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WORDLIST file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WORDLIST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WORDLIST files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WORDLIST files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mariner Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WORDLIST files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the WORDLIST file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WORDLIST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WORDLIST file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
