in thread Challenge: 8 Letters, Most Words

while I'm looking at the solutions presented here, I tried to understand your solution knowing that you have often a different and interesting view of looking at the problem. I did a litte test case dict:

ffffffff
fffffffa
afffffff
bfffffff
fffffffb
ffffbfff
[download]

With this dict the letters to choose to get the most matching words is 'bfffffff'. You algorithm prints something different. What have I missed?

Best regards

you have often a different and interesting view of looking at the problem. How many dictionary words contain 7 repeats of the same letter? :) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

BrowserUk, You don't need 7 repeats to exhibit the problem: `aabc aacb aabc aabc abca eefg efge eegf eegf efeg aabcxy eefglm` [download] Your code produces: a b c e f g m x: 0 Cheers - L~R	[reply] [d/l]
