retoor9304309dHad to look up what word jumble is. For others that cong know, see image. That's a fun project to make. It starts with loading dictionary in database. Then search for a word containing all the letters with a %(letter)% per filter.
Hmm, it's actually quite easy. First I thought about some complex algorithm for all letter sequences but it's not needed with my above solution -
cr8zycatcodr73309d@electrineer I prefer crochet….. I’ve heard those yarn arts are a precursor to programming….I’m also a musician and that’s all about digital stuff too and numbers

cr8zycatcodr73309d@electrineer thanks! It’s my playground. I like to tinker at it like it’s my own wood shop

cr8zycatcodr73309d@retoor that’s exactly what I did with the like filters - but paring it down to 4 words to unscramble that would contain all of the letters of my answer is what eludes me….

electrineer30323309d@cr8zycatcodr are you sure you're not the same person as @AmyShackles? https://devrant.com/rants/6219015/...

cr8zycatcodr73309d@MammaNeedHummus I either crochet, do diamond art or sonethibg crafty while streaming stuff.
I don’t know if this is a rant or not. I just wake up with a crazy idea that I have to wake up and try to write code to make it happen. I guess we all do that or else we wouldn’t be on this platform now would we? Anyway, I’m trying to write a word jumble. I am an old school person that still gets a physical newspaper and I love working the word jumbles! Sometimes I’m like Rain Man. I could just look at every word and get them right away, and I wanted to write my own program and slap it on my website - but I am stuck right now! I’m stuck at a point where I can get all the letters from my answer, but how do I get that down to 3 to 4 words to scramble? I tend to go to sleep, thinking about these things trying to figure them out and will usually wake up in the middle of the night get to my computer and finish it, but this one has me spinning! Who else has driven crazy bystuff like this and does anybody know how I might achieve this? It’s in PHP & MySQL. Glad I accidentally found this place!
