words -- find words which can be made from a string of letters
words [-w word-file] [-m min-length] letters
words prints all the uncapitalized words in the word list that can be made from the string of letters. Each letter can appear in a word once for each time it appears in the string.
words accepts the following options:
By default, words looks for a word-file named 'wordlist' in the same directory as the executable. Use the -w option to specify the path to an alternate word list.
By default, words prints words of any length that can be made from the string of letters. Use the -m option to specify the minimum length of each word. words will skip any words that are less than the specified length.
The list of words, found with the executable.
For a comprehensive word list, the author recommends the ENABLE word list, with more than 172,000 words, which can be found at http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/software.html.
This implementation of words has no known bugs.
