Using just the given 7 letters, you are called to form as many words as possible.
Rules
- The word that you form must include the center letter.
- You don't have to use all the other letters.
- Minimum length of the word that you create is four letters.
- Any given letters can be used more than one time in a word.
- The word list is contained in
/usr/share/dict/words, minus words with upper-case letters, words with apostrophe and words containing letters with accent marks.Name
The name SPELION was just a made up word with letters that could form the root spel(l), while at the same time these letters could appear in a (recursive) Spelion puzzle. The name stuck when I found out that by pure chance Spelion was also an anagram of the greek letter epsilon.
Beginner is spelled wrong
Thanx for pointing out, it is now fixed in the repo and in the script, however I cannot update the preview image here on Lemmy... so this spelling error will stick out like a sore thumb.
Update: Fixed.
I assumed it was intentional.
