Ag is a fast, scriptable anagram generator with a statically embedded
Lua interpreter (version 5.4.4).  Ag is free, open source and runs on
Windows, Mac and Linux.  There's also a command line version called agc
(also scriptable).  Download link and screenshots are here:

The most important changes in 1.6:

* All Lua functions that take a file path (dofile, io.open, etc) now
support UTF-8 paths on Windows, thanks to Peter Wu's patch:
https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lua-unicode

* Fixed a problem with agc handling UTF-8 strings in a Windows console.
You should now be able to enter a command like "agc -l French.lex œuvré"
and see the correct output (assuming the code page has been set to UTF-8
via chcp 65001).

* Added escape-codes.lua to illustrate the ANSI escape sequences now
supported by Ag's console window.  Here's what it looks like on Linux:

* Added wordle.lua, a simple version of Josh Wardle's Wordle game.
Less than 100 lines of code, but it lets you play with any of the
supplied lexicons (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc),
including the numeric lexicons.  See some games using agc on macOS:
