Anagrams Game

This is a web-based Anagrams game developed using PHP and MySQL. The game allows players to find as many anagrams as possible within a given time limit using a set of random letters. The server validates each word against an embedded dictionary. Players can view their score, compete for high rankings, and optionally share their results on Facebook and Twitter.

Gameplay Process

1. When a player starts a game, the server selects 8 letters at random.
2. The player has 60 seconds to find as many valid anagrams as possible using the given letters.
3. Each time the player submits a word, the server validates it against the embedded dictionary.
4. The player's remaining time counter is increased if the submitted word is valid.
5. The player can request a new set of random letters at any time.
6. The game ends when the player runs out of time.
