I noticed that a lot of the words in that list aren't even words, or at least not English ones. There are several on the first screenful already, suggesting that there probably are a significant number of them spread throughout the list. So you could probably make it even more efficient with a stricter dictionary.
- SoylentOrange 5y agoThat dictionary is the same dictionary used by Wordle. It was extracted from the Wordle app. I’m pretty sure all of them are valid English words, which ones do you think are not valid English words?
- ksaj 5y agoAbacs is an example. But since you posted this, I looked some of them up and see there are a whole lot of uncommon words, but not necessarily non-words. A lot of the words I was questioning are actually foreign words that transferred to English for when speaking about the foreign concepts. Eg: Abuna. Except I didn't find a definition for abacs, but it's probably just not in every dictionary.
