Warren,

I wrote a program that does what you wanted. (It took me a while. I'm new
at this and I figure I ought to do something around here along the lines of
real work every once and a while since they pay me.)

The program takes the letters from an input, creates all possibilities
(factorial of the number of letters) then spell checks those possibilities.
Anything with 7 letters or less works great. The problem is that, depending
on computer speed of course, 8 letters takes approx. 10 minutes, 9 letters
takes about 2 hours and 10 letters is just shy of a day. If this would be of
interest, let me know and I will post the code (which isn't short due to my
primative coding skills.)

I was hoping that Excel can take a series of letters, un-jumble them and
then compare the result with words in the dictionary and tell me which
ones are actual words. Can something like this be done?

I like doing those "Word Jumble" puzzles, but sometimes need help to
solve them
