Editing DS4UX (Spring 2016)/Day 2 coding challenge (section)

== Challenges ==

Challenges about finding words:

# Find all words that start with 'a' and are 9 or more letters long.
# What is the longest word that starts with a 'q'?
# Find all words that end with 'nge'
# You need a word that matches "a*ey" (here "*" means any letter). Are there any words that match?
# Print every other word that matches the condition in (1) above.
# Find the longest string where no character is used > 1 time.

Now we're going to start finding points! You can use scrabble.scores to get the scores for every letter. But we're going to cheat: assume you have all the letters.

:7. What is the most valuable word in the dictionary, and how much is it worth?
:8. You want to match a word that starts with an 'a', has an 'e' in the 4th slot, and is no more than 7 characters long. What is the best word you can play?
:9. Make a list that shows the most valuable word that starts with each letter. Example:

 a: apophthegmatize, 37
 c: chiquichiquis, 41
 b: bezzazzes, 47
 e: embezzlements, 37
 d: decitizenizing, 36
