What is it?

8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown is a famous British TV shows that presents contestants with 3 different problems to solve: letters, numbers and conundrums.

Letters

The contestants are given 9 letters in no particular order and they're tasked with constructing the longest word they can out of the given letters.

Note: you must download a word list and place it in the same directory as the javascript file. I recommend using dwyl/english-words.

node letters.js

Numbers

The contestants are given 6 numbers and a target and they have to add/subtract/divide/multiply the numbers together without using the same number twice, to reach their target goal or as close as possible.

node numbers.js

Conundrums

The contestants are presented with an anagram of 9 letters and they have to figure out what the actual word for the given anagram.

Note: you must download a word list and place it in the same directory as the javascript file. I recommend using dwyl/english-words.

node anagram.js
