Python - Delete words in .txt file that repeat letters

Question

Soooooo, I'm going to apologize up front because I'm probably going to make this more confusing than I need to.

I want to:
- user input usable letters ✅
- import a .txt file of words into a list ✅
- remove all words less than 4 letters long ✅
- generate list of all words that the letters can make ✅

BUT now I want to only recognize the EXACT letters available.
EXAMPLE: If the given letters are "h", "a", "p", "y" then "happy" cannot be an available word because only one "p" was given, not 2?

Thanks for any help 👍👍

Answer 1

from collections import Counter

with open("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/_Python/words_alpha.txt") as f:
words = f.read().split()

letters = input().lower()

[print(word)for word in words if Counter(word)==Counter(letters)]

Answer 2

My bad. Try words = list(map(str.lower, f.read().split())) (second line)

Answer 3

with open("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/_Python/words_alpha.txt") as f:
words = map(str.lower, f.read().split())

letters = input("Enter Possible letters: ").lower()

def possibleWords(text_file,character):
print([word for word in text_file
if len(word) > 3 and Counter(word)
== Counter(character)])

Changed "Letters" to "letters" and "Chatacter_Set" to "characters".

def possibleWords(text_file, characters):
for word in text_file:
if Counter(word) == characters:
print(word)

possibleWords(words, Counter(letters))

EDIT: Fixed it. If that doesn't work try changing "split()" for "split(r'\n')".

Answer 5

Also Diego and Anna, huge thank you for the responses, it was very appreciated!

Answer 6

Diego sorry, uploaded the program from before fixing "replace all" errors. But with your changes I'm getting no return? Any other suggestions?

Answer 7

Anna sorry if I missed something, when i made the changes I'm getting a return of an empty list? Any chance you know what I messed up? And I apologize im working off my phone and that may be causing some of the issues? Thank you so much for the help!

**Update**:
After fighting this for like 10 hours and going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, I had a freaking epiphany and realised there is a way easier way to do this and about half the amount of code, so here it is 🤦‍♂️

import re
from collections import Counter

with open("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/_Python/words_alpha.txt") as f:
words = f.read()
shortword = re.compile(r'\W*\b\w{1,3}\b')
words=shortword.sub('', words).split()

letters = input("Enter Possible letters: ").lower()

for word in words:
if not Counter(word) - Counter(letters):
print(word)
