Arrh, grabscrab!

Definition

Pirates have notorious difficulty with enunciating. They tend to blur all the letters together and scream at people.

At long last, we need a way to unscramble what these pirates are saying.

Write a function that will accept a jumble of letters as well as a dictionary, and output a list of words that the pirate might have meant.

Example

grabscrab( "ortsp", ["sport", "parrot", "ports", "matey"] )

Should return ["sport", "ports"].

Return matches in the same order as in the dictionary. Return an empty array if there are no matches.

Good luck!

        if letters1 == letters2:
            words.append(word)
    return words
