Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is removing letters from a word? (Definition)
The removal of a letter in a word is a game where the player must guess a new word from the letters of another word but removing one letter. Subtracting/Droping a letter makes the resulting word one letter less.
How to remove a letter in a word?
Use dCode to test all the possibilities of removing letters (subtraction of one letter or several letters) in order to form/make a new word.
If the position of the other letters remain unchanged:
Example: From the word WORD, remove 1 letter and keep the order of the other letters, to make the new word ORD (W deleted).
If the scrambling of the other letters is allowed:
Example: From the word WORD, remove 1 letter (and allow scrambling of the other letters), to make the new word ROW (D deleted).
If no letter is removed, it is the particular case of an anagram.
How not to remove any letter in a word?
To reorganize letters in a word, dCode has an anagram generator.
How to create a word pyramid?
A word pyramid is a type of word game in which words are written on top of each other, with each word containing one less letter than the word above. The principle of deleting letters is used in the dCode tool to generate a word pyramid.
