words with certain letters by dylan! on 10-21-2006 at 12:27 AM

well were having a contest to see who can come up with the most words out of the letters a b c d e f g and I have about 50 and I was wondering if you guys could come up with some or if there is a program or script ti list all the possibilities??

ex: cabbage
cab
bag

it can only have those letters in it and those letters can be used multiple times and we can also use common names.

the longest/best words I came up with were cabbage and beaded :chrongue:

debeaded (as in had it's beads removed... It was debeaded )

EDIT: Also, "Decabbaged"... It's a stretch, but in today's society where people can make up words and use them, I don't think it matters

I doubt that... there are plenty of massive word lists to be found on the net. Together with tools to search those word lists for specific stuff. So it is only one press on a button so to speak to come up with such lists...

Google is anyone's friend
