Title: Word Jumble Date: 7 Jun 2006 11:41:17 GMT Site: 81.231.32.23
Keith Vetter 2003-11-11 : Here's a fun little anagram game. It scrambles and displays the letters of a 6-letter word, and you have to find all 3, 4, 5 and 6 letter words that can be created from those letters within a time limit.
You can play the game either with a mouse--click on a letter to select it, right-click to undo, click on buttons as needed--or with the keyboard (see help for details).
Word List: Word Jumble has built into it a small 1,200 word list that should suffices for a short while. I also have a larger 15,000 word list of just 3-6 letter words but thought its 100k size was too big for a Wiki page (although such a resource I find quite valuable). Instead, you can download the word list from [L1 ] (just name it "wordlist36.eng" and save it in the same directory as this code). Actually you can any word list that you may have (in any language) as long as the data is parsable with foreach.
KPV 2004-04-20 : Alas, Google found my wordlist web site and now that page is getting lots of bogus hits--my page contains all the words in the query so it comes up often. It's kind of interesting (in a sick way) to see what some people are searching for, such as "free men seducing there (pet doges) links". Anyway, I renamed the wordlist file and instructed the various crawlers to ignore it so the problem should go away.
One consequences is that I had to update the code to know about the new wordlist file name, and while I was at it I added two new features: auto plural -- when you enter a word, it will also check for that word with an "S" appended is also valid; and Three letter words -- you can chooses whether to include 3-letter words in the list of anagrams--see LES's comment below.
LES: Cool. I used to have that game in a Franklin handheld dictionary and wasted many hours of my life playing it. Now I wish the code provided a more straightforward method for determining the minimum and maximum length of the words. In my experience, 3 is not a good minimum because it generates too many words that make you go "heck, I'd never have thought of that". A bit too frustrating, I mean.
FB: You can quickly generate a huge word list of over 100,000 English words if you have the aspell package on your Linux system. This command will give you a nice word list:
aspell dump master | sort > words.txt
Red Hat Linux 9 returns about 110,000 words. Fedora Core 6 provides over 135,000 words. Possessives and duplicates can be removed with:
aspell dump master | grep -v "'" | sort | uniq > words.txt
I found this method of making word lists while working on a script to unscramble words, such as in Jumble and Scrabble games. The working script and the word list are available for download from [L2 ].
uniquename 2013aug01
This script deserves an image so that people can easily see what its GUI looks like.
This is a script that people can use to satisfy their 'Wheel of Fortune' or 'Boggle' addiction.
Jeff Smith 2020-07-29 : Below is an online demo using CloudTk. This demo runs Word Jumble in an Alpine Linux Docker Container. It is a 27.5MB image which is made up of Alpine Linux + tclkit + Word-Jumble.kit + libx11 + libxft + fontconfig + ttf-linux-libertine. It is run under a user account in the Container. The Container is restrictive with permissions for "Other" removed for "execute" and "read" for certain directories.
