Solve anagrams using a simple word list

anagram-solver

• Solve anagrams using a simple word list

Requirements:

• A compiler supporting c++-20
• Override the default by setting the CXX environment variable

Building:

• make: Builds the solver
• make clean: Removes the compiled solver, if present
• DEBUG=[true/false]: Environment variable to enable debug symbols
• FAST=[true/false]: Environment variable to enable more optimisation flags

Usage:

• ./solver [WORD FILE] [CHARACTERS] [--allow-repeat]
  • For example, ./solver "/usr/share/dict/words" "ananab"
• [WORD FILE] must be a simple list of words in a text file, separated by new lines
  • /usr/share/dict/words is a good example
• [CHARACTERS] must be the anagram to solve
• --allow-repeat allows the solver to use characters more than once
  • This would allow banana to be a valid solution for ban
