I don't really see any cheating in this. It just works the way you would expect, right? Am I missing something?

- gb 18y agoI don't see any cheating either, it's probably just called that because it's uncannily good as long as you don't use short words.
- cperciva 18y agoSome people would say that using a dictionary is cheating -- but really, this is just another demonstration of Norvig's maxim that "more data usually beats better algorithms". This isn't a very smart hangman-playing program, but it has enough data at its disposal that it really doesn't need to be smart.
