Two or more words can be composed of the same characters, but in a different order. Using the word list at http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt, find the sets of words that share the same characters that contain the most words in them.

Haskell

import Data.List

groupon f x y = (f x) == (f y)

main = do
  f <- readFile "./../Puzzels/Rosetta/unixdict.txt"
  let  words = lines f
       wix = groupBy (groupon fst) . sort $ zipWith ((,).sort) words words
       mxl = foldl' ((.length).max) 0 wix
  print . map (map snd) . filter ((==mxl).length) $ wix
