in reply to Another word puzzle with too many permutations
I was doing something similar for a game that I was fooling around with at home. I wanted to find all of the possible 3-7 letter English words that could be made up from letters in a single 7-letter word. The algorithm that I used was:
- get all possible permutations of letters
- eliminate duplicates
- look up each possible word in the dictionary to see if it was a real word
