Some interesting methods to use on words.
The idea came from a story about a boy, who, when asked to put words in alphabetical order, ordered the letters of the word instead of the words themselves. I was intrigued by "fox" which was already sorted in that manner.
require "wordplay"
word = Wordplay.new("fox")
word.ordered_letters? # true
word = Wordplay.new("pizza")
word.reverse_ordered_letters # zzpiaThere is also an example which loops through /usr/share/dict/words to find
words with their letters sorted. I think my favorite is "bijoux".
Match palindromes!
require "wordplay"
words = Wordplay.new("Do geese see God?") # ignores spaces and punctuation
words.palindrome? # trueIf you have an interesting word method or a bugfix, please submit a pull request.
