Scrabble-Passwords

Given a set of parameters of which to generate a unique password, return a set of passwords that are memorable and strong

Basic ToDo List

1. Using React, ask the user to given a list of parameters of which they want their password to contain
2. Generate a password using said parameters
3. Using a DAWG (Direct Acyclic Word Graph) to figure out what words can be used from the password
4. rearrange a password to seperate words with random symbols and excess letters
5. Rank each possible password and return the top X passwords for the user to use
   1. More complex words are ranked better (ie. Kangaroo is better than bee)
   2. Minimize the amount of "loose letters" (ie. letter@? is better than t@leer@t)
   3. Use common "leet speak" to increase the amount of usable letters if nessecary ( ie. CA$H is better that ha$c)
   4. more prioritization when experimenting
