Building a simple anagram finder endpoint that takes a string and returns an anagram of the word could be quite cool?

You'll get to play with a few data structures and algorithms (depending on how complex you want to make the finder, whether it just returns words of the same length or subsets).

You could also make a database layer to store the words, or simply parse words.txt into memory/some sort of hashed datastructure when the program loads.

You could then make a simple react component or similar to pass a word to the endpoint.
