It's a bit cheating but the dash package has a -permutations function
which does the job.
(defun acronyms (word)
(seq-filter
(lambda (acronym)
;; TODO: check if acronym is actually a sensible word.
t)
(mapcar (lambda (lst)
(mapconcat #'char-to-string lst))
(-permutations (string-to-list word)))))
For the TODO, you could probably use some dictionary file.
Bye,
