Description

Jumble Aid is a tool to help solve mixed-up letter (anagram)puzzles. It uses a dictionary with more than 60,000 words. It cansolve individual words or multi-word phrases – and it's fast.

It's easy to use. There are two modes of operation – you cansearch for individual words or you can search for multi-wordphrases.

To search for individual words, enter the scrambled letters inthe edit field within the "Word" box (left-hand side). PressSearch. You will see the progress bar increase as it searches forsolutions. In the lower left, the stop button will become activeand turn red. You can terminate searches by processing the Stopbutton.

To search for multiword phrases, enter all of the scrambledletters in the top edit field within the "Phrase" box (right-handside). Enter the phrase template in the lower edit field. A phrasetemplate has question marks (?) to represent the positions ofunknown letters, spaces to separate words, and optionally, if youknow some of the words, you can enter them in the correspondingposition.

For example, suppose we have the letters "DIERYLACEICB" and weare told the solution should be a 4 letter word, followed by a 1letter Word, followed by a 7 letter word. We make a guess that theone letter word is "A" (this will speed up the search process), weremove the "A" from our list of letters. Our list of lettersbecomes: "DIERYLCEICB". Our template becomes "???? A ???????".Enter the letters in the upper edit field (without the quotes) andenter the template in the lower edit field (without thequotes).
