jumble

Letter scrambler for finding words. Helpful for solving Jumble and related word games.

Command Line Options

• Check all possible permutations (current/default).
  • [no option]
• Do not return matches with additional letters (e.g: "racket" would return "trace" but not "shortcake").
  • -m/--match-letters
• Only return results with the same number of letters (e.g: "racket" would return "tacker" but not "trace").
  • -n/--num-letters
  • NOTE: The preceding two options may be combined to only return results with the same number of letters (e.g: "racket" would also return "tacker" but not "rackett").
    • -m -n / --match-letters --num-letters
• Only return results with at least this many characters.
  • -L <int>/--at-least=<int>
• Only return results with at most this many characters.
  • -M <int>/--at-most=<int>
  • NOTE: The preceding two options may be combined to bound the results, e.g:
    • -M 6 -L 4 returns results between 4-6 characters long, inclusive.
    • -L 6 -M 4 skips output words that are 5 characters long.
  • NOTE: The preceding two options are over-ridden by the -n/ --num-letters option.
• Specify an alternate dictionary file.
  • -D <path>/--dict=<path>
• Show number of search results.
  • -r/--results
• Return error on no matches (file errors always return an error value).

• Show total number of iterations.
  • -i/--iterations
• Precede each output word with its iteration number.
  • -v/--verbose
