CHOOSE ONE:

1. HANGMAN

Randomly retrieve a word from a dictionary. Your dictionary may be implemented in any way you want (e.g in memory, File-based, Access database, SQL Server etc.)

The player will be given 7 chances to guess if a letter is in the word. The player may guess the word anytime. Upon guessing a word correctly, increase the player’s score and start a new game. If the player failed to guess the word in 7 chances, ask if he wants to start a new game.

You may implement your own scoring scheme.

2. SCRABBLE

Your friend is playing scrabble. He asked for your help. Your task as a Vinta Systems programmer will be to create a program to aid him.

First you need a list of seven letters (valid scrabble letters – see below). This may be randomly generated from a pool of scrabble letters or it may be user-specified. The letter would be more useful to your friend but the former would display your programming skill.

Second, you need to create all the possible letter combinations (i.e 2-letter. 3-letter)

Third, you need to search all the letter combinations from a dictionary to determine if it is a valid word. Your dictionary may be implemented in any way that you want (e.g memory, file-based. Access database, SQL server etc)

Lastly, present all the valid words to the user.
