When you give a 10 digit phone number, this will return all possible words or combination of words from the provided dictionary, that can be mapped back as a whole to the number.
With this we can generate numbers like 1-800-motortruck which is easier to remember then 1-800-6686787825 The phone number mapping to letters is as follows:
2 = a b c
3 = d e f
4 = g h i
5 = j k l
6 = m n o
7 = p q r s
8 = t u v
9 = w x y z
The phone numbers will never contain a 0 or 1. Words have to be at least 3 characters.
To get give you an initial verification, the following must be true:
6686787825 should return the following list [["motor", "usual"], ["noun", "struck"], ["nouns", "truck"], ["nouns", "usual"], ["onto", "struck"], "motortruck"] 2282668687 should return the following list [["act", "amounts"], ["act", "contour"], ["acta", "mounts"], ["bat", "amounts"], ["bat", "contour"], ["cat", "contour"], "catamounts"]
