A solution ( 600 b) for auto-completing words being input to a computer is proposed. For this purpose, a user starts inputting ( 656;677 ) a prefix of a target word; the computer tries predicting the target word that is desired, and it completes ( 680 ) the prefix automatically (without the need of inputting the entire target word). In the proposed solution, the user also inputs ( 659 - 662,665 ) an indication of the length of the target word. In this way, the computer can restrict ( 668 ) the words being eligible to complete the prefix (i.e., including it) only to the ones having the desired length. This allows solving any ambiguity with shorter prefixes.
