the Letterpress Solver

In plain.js, all words are read into memory and processed. While solver.js used a Redis database to preprocess data and store results and works too.

Requirements

  1. node (brew install node)
  2. redis (brew install redis, only needed for solver.js)

Only tested on MacOSX 10.8

Usage

The Plain Version

A plain version to solve the board without redis is also included. This is an interactive CLI, enter the board to solve and use '/' to filter the results.
