Using this configuration, it lists 89 words, but does not include TISK. So, I added to the dictionary, but doesn’t seem to update properly.

Maybe I am missing something. (At my age, nothing surprises me!)

Someone mentioned that you can only move from one letter of the word to another by using those letters adjacent to your current letter. Confusing when worded like that, but it makes the results seem okay. </p> <p>I guess I don't know that much about word games.</p> Okay, I think I was confused about the rules of the game.

I guess I don’t know that much about word games.

These weren’t big words, either (that it didn’t find): cat, late, gate, state, coat, steal. I’ll have to look at the code and see if I can even understand it enough to try and improve upon it.

Overall, very cool.

Gotta hate internet caffes and their firewalls… “this site is blocked by pornography”. Altough the site opens just fine, can’t get to the file… makes total sense, right ?
