No, I don't just mean anagrams, I mean words that can be formed from *some* or *all* of the letters - RAT gives RAT, AT, ART, TA,TAR

OK like this:

Code: (Select All)

_Title "AnaCode$ function" ' b+ 2022-11-17
test$(0) = "grmaana"
test$(1) = "angiogram"
test$(2) = "naagrma"
test$(3) = "telgram"
test$(4) = "gramana"
test$(5) = "gram"
test$(6) = "nag"
test$(7) = "tag"
test$(8) = "am"
test$(9) = "grip"

For i = 0 To 9
    If WordIsInGroup&(test$(i), "anagram") Then
        Print test$(i) + " is in anagram."
    Else
        Print test$(i) + " is Naht in anagram."
    End If
Next

Function AnaCode$ (wrd$) ' anaCode$ converts word to an Anagram pattern
    ' number of A's in first, number of B's in 2nd, number of C's in third
    Dim L(26)
    w$ = UCase$(wrd$)
    For i = 1 To Len(wrd$)
        p = Asc(w$, i) - 64 ' A=1, B=2...
        L(p) = L(p) + 1
    Next
    For i = 1 To 26
        rtn$ = rtn$ + _Trim$(Str$(L(i)))
    Next
    AnaCode$ = rtn$
End Function

Function WordIsInGroup& (Word$, Group$)
    aw$ = AnaCode$(Word$)
    ag$ = AnaCode$(Group$)
    For i = 1 To 26
        If Val(Mid$(aw$, i, 1)) > Val(Mid$(ag$, i, 1)) Then Exit Function
    Next
    WordIsInGroup& = -1
End Function
