How We Calculated These Words
Every candidate above was looked up by its alphabetical signature— the letters of the word sorted into A–Z order. Two words share a signature if and only if they contain the same letters, which is what makes anagram and sub-anagram lookups instant instead of O(n!). We then subtract each candidate's per-letter counts from your input's counts, drawing on the wildcard pool for any deficit, so only words you actually have the tiles to spell are returned.
