You must provide the letters that and the length of the word. The script will either combine them and produce every possible word or use a dictionary to output only "valid" words (faster and very little memory usage).
You can clone this repository with either of these options:
# HTTPS
git clone https://github.com/aeu79/palabrotas.git
# SSH
git clone [email protected]:aeu79/palabrotas.git
# GitHub CLI
gh repo clone aeu79/palabrotasAnd run it:
cd palabrotas && python3 palabrotas.pyOr just copy the script
and the "files" folder (which contains the dictionaries).
Then run it with: python3 /your/path/to/palabrotas.py
And you can indicate the dictionary to use with one of these arguments:
-en or --english (default)
-es or --spanish
-sv or --swedish
First, you will be prompted to choose between the complete (press "c") or
dictionary (leave empty) modes.
After pressing enter, you have to input the letters. Every letter is used only once, so you need to repeat them as many times as you need.
Enter the word length and press enter.
In the complete mode, every possible combination is generated. Please, be aware that (at least in my laptop) words of length >14 letters can hang the system. Twelve letters long words generate almost 17 million possible outcomes. For very long words, you should use only the dictionary mode. Example run in "complete" mode (-en, English version):
The dictionary (English) has 170588 words.
Enter "c" for "complete" mode (all possible combinations).
Leave empty for "dictionary" mode.
Mode: c
Complete mode.
Enter the letters to be combined. Sub-words can be used to be combined with the other letters and can must be indicated after a "/" (leave empty to finish).
Letters: aetor
Length of the word: 3
There are 60 possibilities. It took 0.0 seconds to combine them.
The main candidates (23) with 3 letters are:
{'ore', 'era', 'rte', 'roe', 'toe', 'tor', 'rat', 'eat', 'tea', 'ret', 'aet', 'art', 'tar', 'eta', 'are', 'ear', 'oar', 'ort', 'oat', 'rot', 'ate', 'ora', 'ter'}
Filter out words using these letters (leave empty to finish):
Do you want to see all of them? (y/n)y
{'eot', 'aoe', 'rta', 'teo', 'ore', 'tro', 'era', 'roa', 'rte', 'rae', 'roe', 'toe', 'tor', 'oet', 'eat', 'rat', 'oea', 'tea', 'ret', 'tao', 'tre', 'aet', 'ote', 'aeo', 'tra', 'atr', 'rao', 'art', 'tar', 'eta', 'are', 'ear', 'tae', 'eao', 'oar', 'eor', 'ota', 'eto', 'aor', 'toa', 'etr', 'aer', 'ort', 'ert', 'oer', 'rto', 'aot', 'rea', 'ero', 'oae', 'oat', 'otr', 'rot', 'reo', 'ate', 'aro', 'ora', 'eoa', 'ter', 'ato'}
In the dictionary mode, only words containing the letters introduced are used, which saves a lot of memory and CPU. Example run in "dictionary" mode (-es, Spanish version):
El diccionario (Spanish) tiene 917580 palabras.
Ingrese "c" para modo completo (generar todos los posibles valores) o nada para modo "diccionario"
Modo:
Eligió modo diccionario.
Ingrese las letras que deben formar las palabras.
Letras (q para terminar): aspltabaro
Longitud de la palabra: 10
Las principales candidatas (1) con 10 letras son:
['palabrotas']
Independently of the mode, the program will try to identify the main candidates by filtering with the dictionary. Those words will be on top. Still you will be prompted to choose a filter or leave it empty (and press enter) to finish. Filtering allows to use some letters that are for example pretty clear from the image of a rebus or a known syllable from the anagram.
