Line 16:
Write a Python script that takes a Scrabble rack as a command-line argument and prints all valid Scrabble words that can be constructed from that rack, along with their Scrabble scores, sorted by score. An example invocation and output:
<pre>[[Media:]]
$ python scrabble.py ZAEFIEE
17 feeze
Line 73:
Write the code to get the Scrabble rack (the letters available to make words) from the command line argument passed to your script. For example if your script were called `scrabble_cheater.py`, if you ran <tt>python scrabble_cheater.py RSTLNEI</tt>, <tt>RSTLNEI</tt> would be the rack.
Handle the case where a user forgets to supply a rack; in this case, print an error message saying they need to supply some letters, and then exit the program using the <code>exit()</code> function. Make sure you are consistent about capitalization▼

====Step 3: find valid words====
Write the code to find all words from the word list that are made of letters that are a subset of the rack letters. There are many ways to do this, but here's one way that is easy to reason about and is fast enough for our purposes: go through every word in the word
