Spelion is a word spelling puzzle.
https://gitlab.com/christosangel/spelion
Using just the given 7 letters, you are called to form as many words as possible.
Rules
- The word that you form must include the center letter.
- You don’t have to use all the other letters.
- Minimum length of the word that you create is four letters.
- Any given letters can be used more than one time in a word.
- The word list is contained in
/usr/share/dict/words, minus words with upper-case letters, words with apostrophe and words containing letters with accent marks.Name

Thank you for this response. I will mention
/use/share/dict/wordsas a dependency for this script in the README. However, as I am not an Arch user, and thus not familiar withaurand respective commands, and as installing this dependency would be beyond the scope of this project, I will ommit giving precise instructions on how to install this package.
