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.
