I'm pretty good at AutoHotKey and I don't know how to approach this...
I am making a macro to play a word game, where the person enters the letters and then the macro will list the 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 letter words that the letters make and then type it in the game.
I obviously know how to have the person enter the letters and then to make the macro type them in. I need help with the anagram part.

Thanks,
Nicholas

Try the search function for a topic called scrambled eggs

I made it for texttwist and textexpress both online word games.

Goodluck

I've seen Scrambled Eggs, and it doesn't give only actual words though, it just moves the letters around...The other script is hard...Could someone explain it better? EDIT: Actually, I enter scrambled letters in it and it gets no results, but when I enter an actual word, it works..

Well about the scrambled egg part yes it sends all possible letter configurations.

The only thing you got too put into it is a dictionary.
So compare if the word exist then send it.

If you found something or even a full digital dictionary post it please.
Wish I had found a digital dictionary back when I made scrambled eggs then it wouldn't give me that much false positive's into the game.

Rolling Eyes

It can be done ,but you need a dictionary too see if its a word Rolling Eyes

I found a dictionary. It should be a good one because it said something about it being the "official Scrabble dictionary"...

Could you or someone else please change the script to add in the "check word" part? I'm sorry, but I can't do the read file functions well.

Anyone?
And I have another question - does this do sub-anagrams? Look under "anagram" on Wikipedia to see what I mean.

Here's my take on an anagram solver. It's just a brute force method, so it's really too slow to be useful on anything more than short words (even a 5-letter word took almost 8 minutes). I used the dictionary provided by nicholas761; but cut out the words over 9 letters; which reduced its size by more than half.
