rabblescay find you some scrabble words... cheater!

After playing words with friends for a few days, I couldn't help but build a scrabble word finder. Forgive me, I am weak ;-)

This library relies on regular expressions, but with the added bonus that if you provide a list of letters, it will only use each letter once. It does this by analyzing the regular expression, so it's not a 100% accurate solution, but I think you'll be surprised by it. The test coverage is decent.

Installation

npm install -g rabblescay

Usage

> rabblescay ".{1,2}oat.?" bfsl
bloat
bloats
boat
boats
float
floats

Even supports blank tiles. Use '*' as a letter (comments added to output):

> rabblescay ".{1,2}oat.?" bfs*
bloat
bloats
boat
boats
coat     # * => c
coats    # * => c
doat     # * => d
doats    # * => d
float
floats
goat     # * => g
goats    # * => g
moat     # * => m
moats    # * => m
shoat    # * => h
stoat    # * => t

See http://colinta.no.de for an example of using it over-the-web. It tracks history, which is a way for my friends to make sure I didn't use it to find a word.
