Countdown solver

On this page, you may enter the letters and numbers off countdown, and the incoherency.co.uk server will solve countdown for you! If you wish to run this software on your computer, you can get it here. The advantage of running it on your computer is that you can get more than just 10 words, and you can get words smaller than 5 characters. More importantly you get the code, and that's the fun part.

It is possible that there are words that are not in this dictionary, or words in the dictionary that are not real or valid in countdown. None of these conditions have been found or looked for. The word game solver will not find words of less than 5 characters. The numbers game solver will not usually solve in the most efficient manner. It uses a brute-force recursive algorithm and stops as soon as it finds any valid solution. There are some sets of numbers that are solveable that my tool can not solve. This is because my tool requires the sum to be solveable in a sequential manner, for example
(((6 + 7) * 3) + 4)
Sets of numbers that must be solved with embedded brackets, such as
((6 + 7) * (3 + 4))
can not be solved here.

I found a bug in the numbers game software while writing the PHP interface. Zeroes are invalid in countdown, but my software does not prevent you from entering one. The software made no effort to avoid dividing by zero. Whoops! Anyway, it's fixed now.
