by Announcing the 0.3 version update of the YAWL word list package. This is
with the intention of -- and it already has -- encourage to development
of anagramming word games for Linux.
Why indeed is there even a need for Yet Another Word List? The
notorious "linux.words" list, the public domain "Websters 2", the
ispell and cracklib dictionaries, not to mention various and sundry
purported Scrabble (R) lists are already available in electronic
form. None of these, though, are optimized for word game use and as
comprehensive as the YAWL. At 264,057 words, this list subsumes the
SOWPODS list beloved of international Scrabble (R) players. There
is no arbitrary word length cutoff, and even words longer than 20
letters find a place in the list.
