Short Problem Description

This was the 12/31/1999 POTM ... send email to potm@att.com and ask for all the details on the NEXT POTM ...

I'm sure most of you have seen "wordsearch" puzzles in the newspapers - you are given an array of letters and asked to find words within the array. The POTM wordsearch is a little different (not all the words will be in the array, you can't re-use letters, and the words don't have to be in a straight line), but the idea is the same. Your job is to write a program to FIND some of the words in the letter grid. Do a better job than anyone else and YOU could win the POTM!
