in reply to Challenge: Mystery Word Puzzle

Have you got any other test cases (or links to relevant puzzle pages) for part 1 of the challenge? My current (brute force) solution finds 'house' in a couple of seconds...

And regarding part 2, should we assume that the result of the code should only allow a single solution (or anagrams thereof)?

    dave,
    I can certainly search the Internet and find more but currently the only ones I have are copyrighted. As for the second part - you are correct.

    Cheers - L~R

    Second example puzzle removed due to potential copyright issues. If trammell's solution works, you can always generate test puzzle with it.
