WORDS(1)

NAME
words - find words which can be made from a string of letters

SYNOPSIS
words [-w word-file] [-m min-length] letters

DESCRIPTION
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.

  OPTIONS
words accepts the following options:

-w word-file
    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. If no word file found, attempt to use a system dictionary wordlist instead.

-m min-length
    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.

FILES

wordlist
    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.
