Hi,

Maybe someone can help with this:

I often use web-based word scramble generators to make EFL exercises
from a vocabulary list. Now I wonder if there is anything on line that
can generate a list of all the words that can be made from a given set
of letters, for example:

input PHOTOGRAPHER
answer hot, pat, heat, her, graph, or, ...

I can find plenty of *games* based on this idea, but I want a list of
the answers!

Any obscure links in your bookmarks?

Thanks,

Jan

What you want is a Scrabble(tm) word generator, not an anagram generator.

The anagram generator at
http://www.easypeasy.com/anagrams/
has a "Scrabble" mode which returns only the words made from a set of
letters, not anagrams. Scroll down to the "solve scrabble puzzle" link
The server seemed to be down or overloaded when I tried it; it suggested
trying later.

There's another at
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/main.html - in the Scrabble Wordfinder put
the word into "Rack" and clear any letters from "Board". Answer below.
