## I took a somewhat different approach. Instead of in a file, ## I've got my word list (562456 words) in an MS-Access database. ## And instead of calculating the signature on the fly, I did it ## once and added the signature as a second field: ## ## TABLE CONS_alpha_only_signature_unique ## -------------------------------------- ## CONS text 75 ## signature text 26 ## ## The signature is a 26 character string where each character is ## the count of occurences of the matching letter. Luckily, in ## only a single case was there more than 9 occurences of any ## given letter, which turned not to be a word but a series of ## words concatenated so I just deleted it from the database ## (lots of crap in the original word list I used). ## ## Example: ## ## CONS signature ## aah 20000001000000000000000000 # 'a' occurs twice & 'h' once ## aahed 20011001000000000000000000 ## aahing 20000011100001000000000000 ## aahs 20000001000000000010000000 ## aaii 20000000200000000000000000 ## aaker 20001000001000000100000000 ## aal 20000000000100000000000000 ## aalborg 21000010000100100100000000 ## aalesund 20011000000101000010100000 ## ## Any words with identical signatures must be anagrams. ## ## Once this was been set up, I wrote a whole bunch of queries ## to use this table.
