choroba,
I am bleary eye tired but I wanted to review your code because you mentioned it didn't consider all combinations - only possible combinations.

If I have understood what you have done, this is not guaranteed to produce the correct answer on all dictionary files. It happens to get the right answer for 2of12inf.txt however. You appear to only be considering the combinations of letters of individual words rather than considering taking some from one word and some from another. Consider the following dictionary: 

abcd
acdb
adbc
dabc
bcad
efgh
fgeh
hegf
egfh
fegh
abcdxy
efghlm

The obvious answer is 'abcdefgh' which will get 10 words but your code chooses both 'abcdxy' and 'efghlm' with 6 words each.

Cheers - L~R
