TurboToad
9 - Comet

My solution, fun challenge. I got a little off track on center vs middle for one of the descriptions :)

171 words that have the letters in ALTERYX and those letters alone.

8 - Asteroid

Took a more manual, involved approach to filter for words that just had grid letters but still able to get to a solution

PSK017
7 - Meteor

Probably one of the most challenging that I have come across yet but great fun nonetheless.

 

Have created it in a way that should work with any word (not just "alteryx") as the letter "e" has not been hard-coded.

Loved the 3-step solution from @DataNath.  I slightly simplified REGEX Match formula and took out Length formula, as it was already given in the Input, getting down to 2 tools thanks to @DataNath REGEX idea!

My solution! Some hardcoding involved but preferred this way as it does not need many steps to solve.

First opportunity to work with the RegEx tool and it was quite the learning curve. I'm sure there are more elegant, scalable solutions, but I ended up with the correct answer in just 7 steps.
