Question

Hi,Maybe someone can help with this:I often use web-based word scramble generators to make EFL exercises from a vocabulary list. Now I wonder if there is anything on line that can generate a list of all the words that can be made from a given set of letters, for example:input PHOTOGRAPHERanswer hot, pat, heat, her, graph, or, ...I can find plenty of games based on this idea, but I want a list of the answers!Any obscure links in your bookmarks?Thanks,Jan

What you want is a Scrabble(tm) word generator, not an anagram generator.

The anagram generator at
http://www.easypeasy.com/anagrams/
has a "Scrabble" mode which returns only the words made from a set of letters, not anagrams. Scroll down to the "solve scrabble puzzle" link The server seemed to be down or overloaded when I tried it; it suggested trying later.
There's another at
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/main.html - in the Scrabble Wordfinder put the word into "Rack" and clear any letters from "Board". Answer below.
