Well... I'm kinda a jerk for this, but it's also a free lesson on why global variables are baaaaad. Also, I wrote this in seconds and I know it could be more efficient / cleaner. don't @ me. Toss this in your browser's dev console to get the best word available for each puzzle instantly function solvePuzzle(puzzle, words) { const letters = {}; puzzle.forEach(l => { if (!letters[l]) { letters[l] = 0; } letters[l]++; }); let best = ''; words.forEach(word => { if (word.length > puzzle.length) { return; } const has = { ...letters }; for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) { if (!has[word[i]]) { return; } has[word[i]]--; } if (word.length > best.length) { best = word; } }); return best; } // lettersarray and wordlist are both globally available solvePuzzle(lettersarray, wordlist);
