how to create filters in gmail with or condition in has the words?

I want to create a filter in Gmail that will forward all emails that contain either "abc" or "def" in the "has the words" field. Is this possible?

You can create filters in Gmail with an "OR" condition in the "Has the words" field by entering multiple words or phrases, separated by commas. For example, if you wanted to filter messages that contain either the word "urgent" or the phrase "action required", you would enter "urgent, action required" in the "Has the words" field.

Gmail allows you to create filters with an "OR" condition in the "Has the words" field. With this option, you can define a filter that matches any of the given words, phrases, or even more complex combinations. Here’s how to do it:

Open gmail and click the gear icon in the top right corner.
Select See all settings
Select Filters and Blocked Addresses
On the right side of the page, click “Create a new filter”
Enter one or more words or phrases in the “Has the words” field.
To add an “OR” condition, separate each phrase or word with a “|” (without quotes)
Click Create filter with this search
Select the desired action you wish the filter to take
Click Create Filter
