FAQ

Q: How do I find out if I have .NET 2.0 Framework Installed?
A: Windows Vista came with .NET Framework. If you're on Win XP, go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and search for "Microsoft .NET 2.0 Compact Framework"

Q: Why does the program require .NET 2.0 Framework?

A: .NET 2.0 simplifies lots of programmer's job, especially dealing with Win32 API. This is my first time playing around with Win32 API, that's why I decided to use it. In the future I'm planning to make a release that doesn't have this dependency, so stay tuned

I could suggest three improvements:

1. Make the 'Generate' button respond to 'Enter' keypress (Say, type-in the chars and press Enter)

2. Use the TWL and/or SOWPODS as dictionary, make them selectable.

3. Skip entering the anagrams (words with same length) to avoid going into the bonus round - It would be better off as a checkbox

Not all words have anagrams, so make sure the checkbox skips words with the largest possible word-length found. For example, if a 5-letter word is found, but no six-letter word can be, then skip entering 5-letter word(s).

Would also be a good idea to make the window as 'always on top', as an option.

p.s: sorry for the separate comments
