Update: Amongst other possible errors, this rejects words that have more than 8 letters; whereas it should only reject words with more than 8 unique letters!
The corrected version is much slower. (And still running!)
BTW: Where is your (attempt at) a solution? Or are you one of those that can only get their jollies critiquing others honest attempts?

Hi BrowserUK,
my approach is still running. I'll present my "solution" as soon as I have the feeling I did it right. My solution is a real brute force solution. I will last some time as I have to loop over 13,884,156 permutations iterating over 35016 unique words.
I hope I'll be right. ;-)

I'll present my "solution" as sson as I have the feeling I did it right.
The beauty of challenges is that no one is harmed -- and we can all learn from -- imperfect attempts.
The trouble with waiting for brute force is that if you've not considered something, that someone else can point out, you've a long time to wait before you discover that.
I look forward to critiquing your approach :)
