Word Cheater

Word Cheater is a simple word and anagram solver and a generic pattern matching application for the english language. It supports two modes of operation:

1) Word composition mode, with support for Scrabble, Words With Friends and WordFeud scoring
2) Pattern matching mode

The user can enter as many letters as he/she wishes and press the “Search” button.

The question mark (?) represents a single unknown character. In composition mode, only one question mark character is allowed. The asterisk (*) represents a sequence of characters (or no characters at all) and it is supported only in pattern matching mode. Again, only one asterisk is allowed.

Mandatory letters (or letter sequences) are letters or sequences of letters that every accepted word must contain. The user can choose whether a word must include all mandatory letters (AND condition) or just one of them (OR condition). The mandatory letters must be a subset of the original set of the selected letters. They are separated by commas. Mandatory letters are used only in word composition mode.

Example:

- Selected letters (qwertyuiop)
- Mandatory (qu,t)

Examples of patterns:

- class*, find all words beginning with “class”.
- *room, find all words ending in “room”.
- c*room, find all words beginning with “c” and ending in “room”
- cr??sw??d, crossword pattern
- c?a*room, mixed pattern

There is no restriction concerning the number of letters entered by the user, but the maximum number of words returned cannot exceed 1500. The user can narrow down the query space of a search by defining the minimum number of letters in a word (available only in composition mode).

Have fun!


IMPORTANT

The application requires 5.5 Mbytes of extra memory for dictionary installation.
