Re^4: Another word puzzle with too many permutations

The issue was mentioned on a different node. You specify an alphabet, but your data contains characters not contained in that alphabet. You can either filter the characters that you are not checking ('-', '.'), add them to the alphabet, or remove them from the data in your list of items.

Your code works great with the smaller sets of data. When I try to run it against a 250 item list, it runs out of memory. Is it possible to only output results that consume all available letters for a specific amount of words? ie: I need exactly 10 words that use all of the given letters to have a solution.	[reply]

My solution calls success any set of names that map to a subset of the alphabet. Change the definition of success to a set of names that fully exhaust the alphabet (`@alphabet` contains all 0s). --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]
