UNSCRAMBLE
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
24 September, 1995
It occurred to me that it would be nice for the computer to be able to solve
those maddening "Jumblegram" scrambled word games found in daily newspapers,
mostly near the comic sections. Programming this required only slight modifi-
cations of the ANAGRAM code. No big deal.
To use UNSCRAMBLE, just type: UNSCR xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the letter set
to unscramble. The unscrambled words will be printed to the screen, not to a
disk file, since there will likely be only one, or at most two or three
"solutions". The master word list, WORD.LST is searched.
The UNSCRAMBLE utility also works with other word lists in addition to the
master word list, WORD.LST. For example, to use it with the LONGWORD.LST
given as a premium to registered WORDY users, type: UNSCR xxxxx longword.lst.
Note that the word list used must be in ASCII and in the format of one word
per line terminated by a carriage return. Both the WORD.LST and the LONGWORD.
LST meet this criterion.
The entire WORDY package still costs only $2.00 (cheap!) to register. Such a
deal. Registered users will receive as a bonus the LONGWORD.LST, a list of
147,526 words over 8 letters long.
