::: (No ell in Gerard). I know it appears that this Rosetta Code task ''specifies'' a ''particular'' dictionary to use, but the very next sentence says that ''If you prefer to use a different dictionary ...'', so that more-or-less nullifies that a particular dictionary ''has'' to be used; although I know that using one (directed) dictionary (as per a task requirement) helps to compare one's output to other computer programming language examples. I do wish that a fuller dictionary which has duplicate words in it and/or words what are capitalized differently ('''us''' and '''US''') to better reflect a "real-world" dictionary (and expose problems with programming code that makes/takes/assumes shortcuts). But, alas, it is what it is, and if I would use (say, "my" dictionary of over 915,000 words), it doesn't lend itself to comparing the output to anyone else's output, although I did mention the results in the REXX output section in prose form. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 13:45, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
:: Just ran the larger [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dwyl/english-words/master/words.txt dictionary] its 12x the size of the standard dictionary and runs in 15x the time using the Python code. (There is a lot of "cruft" padding out that larger dictionary from the look of the first 100 words). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 10:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
