How REAL was unscrambled

Unscrambling does not mean testing every arrangement of REAL. Instead, every word in the dictionary is filed under a fingerprint made by sorting its letters alphabetically. Sorting these 4 letters gives aelr, and every subset of them is looked up directly against that index.

That is why the result is exhaustive rather than a best guess. All 21 words shown here are every word the dictionary contains that can be built from these letters, with nothing omitted.
