Re^5: Challenge: 8 Letters, Most Words

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. ;-) McA	[reply]

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 :) 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.

Well spoken! (++) I hope there will be no reason for doing so, besides of the runtime... ;-) I'm really curious. I'm just searching for a module helping me to parallize the approch. I need one which is able to return results to the parent. UPDATE: The very first output of my script is: `'tux' can be produced by 'aaaaatux'` [download] I'm sure THIS IS A SIGN! ;-) Regards McA	[reply] [d/l]
