I don't trust my Anagram Search Tool!!

-=-=-

I'm not sure why, but my search tool isn't picking up that Theater and Theatre are anagrams.
I know one's the American and the other is the British spelling, but both should be acceptable in the game.
But why's one showing up, when the other isn't?
And.. Ultimately, does it really matter?
I mean, at the end of the day, they're the same word, and you're not having to truly spell the words in this game.
.. Or are you?
I've still not 100% decided on the mechanics of it yet.

But, yeah, yesterday I spent about 2 or 3 hours trying to get that Theater and Theatre thing to work. And it just didn't, no matter how I tried.
And I know it seems silly to focus on one word like that, but if my word-list-finder is stumbling on one word "that I've noticed", then what else is it missing?
That's the bit that worries me.

It's managed to find over 1,700 words to fit this game, but I'm worried that there might be more compatible words that it isn't finding in the giant wordlist of Shoebox.
I'll probably have another tweak at it tomorrow, but I really should try to get the actual gameplay working, at this point, too.

And, of course, I also need to start planning for the month's Patreon First game, because I haven't any ideas what that game's going to be.

Will our month's "Started as a poetry image" Cow Miner sprite make another appearance?
Who knows!!!
Stay tuned to find out!!
