    Finding the hidden words in strings of letters

    Hi! Can someone help me?

    I have a list of strings of letters (column A):

    YDHEIHGKCEWEC
    RIGJSTARSDSFDH
    JDSUNDHXSUNFL
    HFYEIDGSKQWK
    CBVNZTMOONWRH
    DASFRERTYBJHX
    JDIFJGFFGDFFPG
    LKJHMOONDFJHU


    And then a list of words (column B):
    SUN
    MOON
    STAR

    The words from the second list are hidden in the strings in the first list (I marked them red). The words can be hidden or more than once in the whole list, or even in the same string.

    I need a formula in column C which will go through the whole list of words B, and for each of the words, return: how many times the word is hidden in the whole list, and in which string(s).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!!
