Medium put out a challenge to find all the writing-related words in a word search. This script was my solution to find all the hidden words. Unfortunately, it found a few too many...
Included in this repo is the script used to traverse the word search and find the words, the dictionary containing all words in the English language, and a text file of the 501 words found by the script.
If you’re curious to learn more, you can find the Medium Challenge here, and my response post here.
If you want to see for yourself, just clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Syeoryn/wordSearch.git
And run:
node wordSearch.js
This will generate (and overwrite) the wordsFound.txt file.
open wordsFound.txt
And of course, you’re more than welcome to play with the script and see what you can do-- that’s wordSearch.js for the word finder and dictionary.js for the set of English words used.
