Programming Assignment


Write an applet that will create and display Easy Nine Letter puzzles.  The puzzle does not need to appear exactly as shown above, but should be some similar easily readable format. The program may use a built-in database of nine-letter words obtained from some resource or database of words such as the Unix word dictionary.

Allow the player to attempt to solve the puzzle.  Create a user interface that allows for placement of letter groups on the board and easy moving around of letter groups.   Perhaps provide feedback if the player places a letter group incorrectly.  Alternately, have a "Evaluate my solution" button which will indicate if the player's solution is correct.  Perhaps a "difficulty" level would provide differing levels of detailed feedback.
