I am making a code which takes in jumble word and returns a unjumbled word , the data.json contains a list and here take a word one-by-one and check if it contains all the characters of the word and later checking if the length is same , but the problem is when i enter a word as helol then the l is checked twice and giving me some other outputs including the main one(hello). i know why does it happen but i cant get a fix to it

import json

val = open("data.json")
val1 = json.load(val)#loads the list


a = input("Enter a Jumbled word ")#takes a word from user
a = list(a)#changes into list to iterate


for x in val1:#iterates words from list
    for somethin in a:#iterates letters from list
        if somethin in list(x):#checks if the letter is in the iterated word
            continue
        else:
            break
    else:#checks if the loop ended correctly (that means word has same letters)
        if len(a) != len(list(x)):#checks if it has same number of letters
            continue#returns
        else:
            print(x)#continues the loop to see if there are more like that

EDIT: many people wanted the json file so here it is

Just a example and the dictionary is full of items

CodePudding user response：

You could sort the letters in the jumbled word and match the resulting list against sorted lists of the words in your data file.

sorted_jumbled_word = sorted(a)
for word in val1:
    if len(sorted_jumbled_word) == len(word) and sorted(word) == sorted_jumbled_word:
        print(word)

Checking by length first reduces unnecessary sorting. If doing this repeatedly, you might want to create a dictionary of the words in the data file with their sorted versions, to avoid having to repeatedly sort them.

CodePudding user response：

OK - So the "json" isn't JSON at all. It's a file that contains the textual representation of a Python list of strings. Therefore, all you need is this:

def fixw(w):
    return ''.join(sorted(w.replace(' ', '').lower()))

with open('/Users/andy/wordlist.txt') as jfile:
    D = dict()
    for w in eval(jfile.read()):
        D[fixw(w)] = w

jumble = input('Enter your jumbled word: ')

print(D.get(fixw(jumble)), 'Not found')
