I seemed to have taken a different approach than others. The key difference is I alphabetized letters in the words and compared to an alphabetized hand. Used a simple Regex pattern match. I did not extend to using 1 or 2 blanks. Separately, I created an analytic app that allows the user to input any 7 letters (not shown here).
I have played Scrabble quite a bit but not recently. I chose this for my first 'difficult' level challenge because of the title. I had to really think about the logic to identify valid words. I liked this challenge.
If anybody ever actually sees this then I apologise for the monstrosity. Would truthfully get tripped up as is with any double letters in hand although that could be coded into formulas if necessary. One of my favourite sayings on the Alteryx forums: If it works it works I guess.
I made this really difficult for myself a few times but happy to finally solve it fully in my own way - including the blanks!
Standard tools only, more of a puzzle on matching logic than any alteryx heavy lifting.
Great fun (in the end ;) ) Definitely the most time I've spent on a WC but worth it.
