How many words of three letters or more can you find by tracking from one square to the next, going up, down, sideways or diagonally in order? You may not go through the same letter square again in any word. No proper nouns or foreign words. What's the hidden nine-letter word?
Trackword is a game written in C#, using a component architecture which means it's fairly easy to render it to HTML or to Winforms. It uses a SQL Server-based dictionary.
The core game component also has functions for finding all the possible words in the grid. That was fun to code.
I'm happy to share the code with anyone who is interested - constructive criticism is always welcome.
I'm stunned. But this is what it said, so it must be true.
