  ABC Problem
.DESCRIPTION
   You are given a collection of ABC blocks. Just like the ones you had when you were a kid. 
   There are twenty blocks with two letters on each block. You are guaranteed to have a 
   complete alphabet amongst all sides of the blocks
   blocks = "BO","XK","DQ","CP","NA","GT","RE","TG","QD","FS","JW","HU","VI","AN","OB","ER","FS","LY","PC","ZM"
   The goal of this task is to write a function that takes a string and can determine whether 
   you can spell the word with the given collection of blocks. 

   The rules are simple: 
        1.Once a letter on a block is used that block cannot be used again 
        2.The function should be case-insensitive 
        3. Show your output on this page for the following words:
        >>> can_make_word("A")
        True
        >>> can_make_word("BARK")
        True
        >>> can_make_word("BOOK")
        False
        >>> can_make_word("TREAT")
        True
        >>> can_make_word("COMMON")
        False
        >>> can_make_word("SQUAD")
        True
        >>> can_make_word("CONFUSE")
        True

   Using the examples below  you can either see just the value or 
   status and the values using the verbose switch

.EXAMPLE
   test-blocks -testword confuse

   test-blocks -testword confuse -verbose
