This guide covers the original W3Match list directory: how to open a curated crypto X list, find its list ID and narrow the results with search filters.

## Understanding W3Match Categories

The platform organizes Twitter lists into several key categories:

- **Kaito Lists** \- Collections based on Kaito's leaderboard metrics, featuring top crypto influencers. Learn how to leverage these lists for growth in our [Growth Hacking Guide](https://www.w3match.com/blog/the-ultimate-growth-hacking-guide-part-1-leveraging-kaito-and-x-lists)
- **Pre-TGE Projects** \- Lists focused on upcoming projects before their Token Generation Events
- **Post-TGE Projects** \- Established projects with active communities
- **Smart Followers** \- Lists categorized by influence score to help you find impactful voices
- **Other** \- Specialized lists including daily Gm/Gn posters and top Web3 creators

You can easily filter between these categories using the category chips at the top of the main page.

## How to Access and Use Lists

Each list on W3Match offers two main ways to access the content:

### Method 1: Direct List View

When you click the "View List" button on any list card, you'll be redirected to that specific Twitter list on the X platform. This is useful for quickly browsing or subscribing to the list.

### Method 2: Search Query (Recommended)

For more advanced filtering and a better experience, I recommend using the search query method:

1. Click the copy icon next to the query in the list card
2. The query will be copied to your clipboard in this format: `list:1881326343725478149 -filter:replies lang:en`
3. Paste this query directly into the Twitter search bar

### Understanding Search Query Components

Let's break down what each part of the query means:

- `list:1881326343725478149` \- This number is the unique identifier for the Twitter list
- `-filter:replies` \- This removes replies from the search results, showing only original tweets
- `lang:en` \- This filters for English language tweets only

You can further refine your search by adding keywords. For example:

`list:1881326343725478149 Kaito -filter:replies lang:en` 

This will show only English tweets containing the word "Kaito" from people on that list.
