Anagram Generator in Python

Anagrams Generator

This is a program for computing multiword anagrams. It makes no effort to come up with sentences that make sense; it only finds anagrammatic sentences, irrespective of meaning.

The simplest way to use it:

	find_anagrams(sentence)

This will return, and print on the screen, all the anagrams of sentence

Select the Dictionary

By default, select my dictionary of words is English. You can also select the Spanish dictionary.

find_anagrams(sentence ,dict_file='english.txt')
find_anagrams(sentence ,dict_file='spanish.txt')

Or pass your own dictionary. The dictionary format must be a text document with one word per line. An example of a mini-dictionary would be:

dog
home
fun

Include Words

If there are words that you want to be in your anagram, you include them like this:

find_anagrams(sentence, include=['dog','panda'])

It will only return the anagrams of sentence that contain the word dog and panda.

Exclude Words

If there are words that you dont want to be in your anagram, you exclude them like this:

find_anagrams(sentence, exclude=['cat'])

It will only return the anagrams of sentence that do not contain the word cat.

Console

If you want to use it more quickly you can simply call it from the console in the following way:

python anagrams.py  car has +a -rash -cash
>>> a crash
>>> a chars
