answer is post

generally I suck at these kind of things.
english is my first language and according to the experts I have an above
average
vocabulary so i don't think that its related to language skills too
reliablly.

I think its more of a brain wiring issue.
there seem to be 2 different types of person.
science/eng people and language/art people.

I'd rather devise a program that dictonary attacks a "findaword" than
actually do it.

So what's the answer?

I find these kind of "word manipulation" problems difficult too, but I don't
thinks it's an ESL thing.  I've never been much good at word games like
anagrams, scrabble, or high speed reaction games, but generally decent at
strategy and "thinking" games.  Technically german is my first language too,
but I consider english my primary language and am unquestionably better and
more comfortable at reading, writing and speaking english.
