How Many WordsMAX can you make from the phrase. . .? Super Size 3.8 MB
Clicking either link will cause a time alert to pop up.
After you OK the time alert,
An Excel spreadsheet will be downloaded from my web site onto your computer. If you've got it, Excel will launch. The Shorty Lite spreadsheet contains a list of 584 words that very possibly are all the 2 and 3 letter words in the English language. The MAX Super Size spreadsheet contains 55,900 words, up to 10 letters long. It will take awhile.
You will be able to type in your own phrase (I've typed in an example, Merry Christmas). Remember to hit "return". In the WordBuilderMAX you also get to choose the length of words to search for.
Then, when you click the "Get Matches" button, your computer will search the list and display all the appropriate length words that can be made from the letters in your starter phrase.
Credit should be given here to Ray Good who wrote an efficient little search routine, much more elegant than mine.
And credit is due Justin White who compiled the dictionary and made it available on-line. Visit his Web Site.
Finally credit must be given to Magdalene Smeller who loved to start us kids (who lived to start kids) (who learned to start kids) playing the How Many Words game.
