The only "snag" I could find with that Word-Finder stack was that it could not tell
the difference between a real word and a group of letters: but I am not surprised about that.

Yes, but you may use a list of allowed words to check if a result is in this list

Re: How To Use Unscramble Tool For Generating words?
My kids and I play a "License plate" game as we drive around town. License plates generally have three alpha characters along with several digits.
So if we were following a car with, say "PNP" the game is to find the shortest word that contains those three chars, the order of letters not mattering. Anyone who came up with "pinup" or "nippy" would win with a five letter word. "Palpitating" is valid, but 11 letters.
Many years ago I made a stack to fool around with that idea. There are, for "PNP", actually five words with five letters, nothing shorter, and over 1800 words in all.
I cannot upload the stack, because it is too large for the forum. If anyone is interested, send me a note and I will email it.

Klaus.
There is a great one-liner in "Pulp Fiction":
"Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character".
