I tossed together a script to do that several years ago for puzzle solving, but of course I never had time to finish it. As a result, it is badly written, incomplete, and in need of revision, but it does a decent job. Attached is a Perl module with the important routines included, a test script showing how to use it, and the output of the test script on my system. (You'll need to repoint the test script at a dictionary file.) If anyone makes this better, I would love to hear about it. Enjoy. + Richard
