Okey, after reading the contest rules three times I think I understand it. But is this contest not very easy? or isn't this
contest very easy? :unsure:

Quick Questions:

On the Jumbled Words contest, the Output section says that the word should be printed in order of highest character count, and the total number of letters found. However, in the sample output, the word 'class' is printed before 'hypertext' and the letter count printed is 30 when there were 36 letters printed. Is this correct? or was there an additional rule that I missed?

Can we combine letters from different jumbled words?
ex: It looks like that was done for the first sample sentance to form 'string', it looks like it combined letters from 'irgtni' and 'krsiypappsle', either that or the red letter should have been 's' in the word 'string' instead of the 'r' that it indicated.
ex2: on the second line, the word 'class' has no red letters, so did it take the 'c' from the second jumbled word 'nyyoitcf' or is the 'c' supposed to be red since there is no 'c' in 'sslas'?

Can letters in jumbled words be used multiple times for different words? (e.g. in the one jumbled word 'sslascr' I could spell 'crass' and 'class')

Thanks!

yes, words can made from multiple jumbled words.
