bonanova Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Take four letters and arrange them into six differently spelled words. No proper names, abbreviations, etc ... you know the drill. Just ordinary words you'd find in any dictionary. Use each letter exactly once in each word. Enjoy!

0 Quantum.Mechanic Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I've previously written a nice word puzzle script, which takes in a huge list of words, and creates a list of anagram "siblings". One of the special functions is to find, for each word length, the largest anagram set of siblings. Spoiler Length: Count, Anagram Siblings 2: 2, ba, ab 3: 5, abr, arb, bar, rab, bra 4: 8, abel, albe, blae, bela, blea, beal, able, bale 5: 13, arces, acers, races, scare, cares, acres, caser, scrae, serac, ceras, sacre, carse, escar 6: 6, reshod, shored, horsed, hordes, dehors, shoder 7: 2, egilops, epilogs 8: 2, aegilops, spoilage For length of 4, there are 8 siblings in the "abel" set. While I trust my word list sources, some of these may not truly count as English. For instance, I can only find a Dutch entry for "abel". "Blae" is nominally Scots, but is found in Northern England, so it must be English! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
