Question

About PS6 problem 4 what does it mean-'string containing the letters of w in sorted order'.What should we do to get that?

Answer 1

you have lots of words in a wordlist
for each word in the wordlist
sort the word ('the' -> 'eht') this is the key to a dictionary item
the word itself is the value for that dictionary item d['eht'] = 'the'

there are lots of ways to sort strings - read the Python docs for a starter; they are very helpful
