  • unpack, pack

    From Hen Hanna@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 24 16:34:02 2023
    when i unpack the string (or Seed) USENEARSEYNE ,
    i get words like Sense, Sears, ........, Snare, Unary, ....
    (sarsen, seesee, senary, serene, unease, uneasy, usneae, usneas)
    (sensyne)



    How would i approach the PACKING function ?

    e.g. ... i want to find the string X that packs
    Apple, Pie, Apricot, Banana, Candy

    (packing doesn't require an English dictionary)

    and i want X to be short. Thanks!

    (is this in Vol.3 of Knuth?)
