:I have no problems with the original wording, and the link to unixdict.txt defines a specific file already - it doesn't allow for a file of the same name - it links to a specific file that should be used. I would emphasize aspects of the original task rather than change it - something like:
 
::;Task:
::Using the dictionary   [https://web.archive.org/web/20180611003215/http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt unixdict.txt],   change one letter in a word,   and if the changed word occurs in the dictionary,
::<br>then display the original word &nbsp; and &nbsp; the changed word here (on this page).
 
::The length of any word shown should have a length &nbsp; <big>'''>&nbsp; 11</big>.
 
::;Note:
::* A copy of the specific [https://web.archive.org/web/20180611003215/http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt unixdict.txt] linked to should be used for consistency of results.
::* Words <big>'''>&nbsp; 11</big> are required, ie of 12 characters or more.
 
:I wouldn't necessarily add a clarification on whether single character deletions are allowed or not.
