Suggests moves for crossword games such as Scrabble and Words with Friends using a gaddag.

About

A GADDAG is a type of directed acyclic word graph (DAWG) where each word is stored with each of its prefixes, reversed.

Build

You need CMake and a reasonably new GCC or Clang compiler supporting C++14.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make

Running

Puppup outputs ANSI colour codes, so be sure to use a terminal that supports this. You need to supply your own dictionary (a text file with one word per line).

./puppup word_list.txt

The word list is not provided with puppup (see: Who owns Scrabble's word list?).
