Hi,

I'm asking because the output of your program does IMHO not give a hint of the right solution for the following dict:

aa
aab
baa
aba
ccc
cdc
dcc
ccd
rs
sr
qt
tq
uv
vu
wx
xw

[download]

What do you think?

Best regards
McA

    My method is to, for each word, count the number of words that can be made using its letters. I then choose the word with the highest count. I suppose the best combination could be something else entirely, though.
