Been working on word puzzles and have come up with some things that
others may find useful.
This stack will:
1) Produce all permutations of a given character set using the
interweave algorithm. (These permutations get very big in a hurry.
The number of permutation in the Run Rev license code. There are 40
characters and therefore 40! permutations and 40! = 8.16 x 10^47.
Don't tell Heather that I've been looking at the license code.)
2) Produce all words that can be formed from a character set, i.e.
solves anagrams.
3) Includes an anagram word game--very crude.
4) Includes a cryptogram word game--it downloads four quotations
daily from the Web and encrypts them for your decoding pleasure. It
also includes a decoder utility.

This is a 0.5 meg file--large dictionary--so be patient (2 or 3
minutes) if you are on a 56K modem.
