Word Mine Puzzles
The objective in CRpuzzles' Word Mine is to anagram as many 4- and
5-letter words as possible using the letters in the puzzle master word
or phrase. A letter may be used to form a new word only as many times
as it appears in the master. The official Word Mine puzzle word list
is composed of common words; words not eligible are those beginning
with a capital letter, plurals, present-tense verbs ending in "S"
("sees," for example), contractions, and hyphenated words. CRpuzzles'
Java computer tool will track the number of words on the official
list as the solver anagrams them.
