If you say "two", then that affects the count of how many words can be represented by the ''key digits'' (as described by this Rosetta Code task). |

In the REXX program that I coded, it detects duplicate words (and ignores them, but displays a count). I believe that having duplicate words shouldn't alter the count of words representable by ''key digits''. As the REXX program is currently coded, it ignores duplicated words and it shows a different digit combination count ('''650''' digit combinations instead of '''661''', the latter counts duplicate words and reflects another way to count words representable by ''key digits''). |

Better still, it would be nice to have a clean dictionary, or at the least, agree on whether or not duplicate words should be ignored (and instead report on unique words that are in the dictionary). |
