gollark: I'm not entirely sure how, but it seems to construct a tree/maybe deterministic finite automaton/finite state machine/I don't know theoretical CS which matches anagrams and unmatches unanagrams.
gollark: ```pythonimport collectionsdef do_thing(s): if len(s) == 1: return { s[0]: True } out = {} for i, c in enumerate(s): without = s[:i] + s[i + 1:] things = do_thing(without) out[c] = things return outdef match(r, s): print(r) c = r for i, x in enumerate(s): print(x) try: c = c[x] if c == True: if i + 1 == len(s): return True # full match else: return False # characters remain except KeyError: return False # no match return False # incomplete matchentry = lambda a, b: match(do_thing(a.lower().replace(" ", "")), b.lower().replace(" ", ""))```Here is my entry (pending a port to osmarkslisp™️). This is definitely my entry.
gollark: I wish to use Mathematica in my code. Please install it. DO NOT READ, ubq.
gollark: I have a "great" way to do this which I think takes O(n²) space-time-beeite.
gollark: Perhaps it is also possible to construct some sort of regex/deterministic finite automaton to match things matching anagramatically.
