🟡 Devtoberfest 2025 - Scramble Challenge - Programming Languages

Intro

This puzzle is based on the Family Reunions puzzles in Games magazine (I have been reading the magazine since high school). In these puzzles, a list of related but jumbled words are presented, with a bogus extra letter added to the jumble to make it more difficult to figure out.

You have to unjumble the words in the list and then figure out what is common among all the words.

INSTRUCTIONS

To solve each word challenge, remove one letter from the given word and rearrange the remaining letters to get a word related to our topic.

For example, in the first word of Family One in the image above, you are given the word:

You could remove the letter C, and then rearrange the remaining words to get WAR.

If you did the same to the rest, you would find that all the hidden words were card games.

👉 For our puzzle, you do not have to figure out the family – all the words in this puzzle are programming languages or frameworks.

IMPORTANT: If the language has a special character in its name, like a slash (/), ampersand (&) or period (.), this is not shown in the scrambled letters nor should you include it in the answer.
