Steve

anything to give me an easier life, but an alphabetic list seems as good as
most things

when I am dealing what I use is a selfmade database app, but I always also
run Dixomat, both of these check for uniquness of new words and I am sure
that cory does too

Someone (authorized to do so) could certainly add a link there. (It runs as an MS Server application)



While browsing that site, I did come across the following note regarding Coryphaeus: ;-}



No longer supported: Paul retired from the game in 2012.

I have no desire to upset things or meddle (unnecessarily), but it seems to me that now that the word list has hit 2,737 words (including those rejected for whatever reason), that the process of checking for used words has become cumbersome.

In hopes of simplifying the process, I have created a simple web site whereby one can check for used words.

See:www.duckswild.com/dix

You will see that all or any part of a word can be used to search and case doesn't matter.

At the moment, I maintain the list, but if my approach seems useful, I can enhance it to allow others to maintain the list via a web application, which will be valuable in the even I'm hit by a truck (lorry), etc.

Right now, the name of the submitter is not shown, but I can change that if it's deemed appropriate to display that information.

I seek your feedback.

Many thanks,

Steve Graham (sdgraham (AT) duckswild (DOT) com)

It would be great to have the search on top of a complete list. I might
try a *form* *of *one of the words, not find it in the search, and still
catch it in the list. Just a thought.

I gave it a try, and it's an excellent tool, in my opinion, and a great
service to the players.

Fellow Dixonarians





I have no desire to upset things or meddle (unnecessarily), but it seems
to me that now that the word list has hit 2,737 words (including those
rejected for whatever reason), that the process of checking for used words has
become cumbersome.
In hopes of simplifying the process, I have created a simple web site
whereby one can check for used words.
See:_www.duckswild.com/dix_ (http://www.duckswild.com/dix)
You will see that all or any part of a word can be used to search and case
doesn't matter.
At the moment, I maintain the list, but if my approach seems useful, I can
enhance it to allow others to maintain the list via a web application,
which will be valuable in the even I'm hit by a truck (lorry), etc.
Right now, the name of the submitter is not shown, but I can change that
if it's deemed appropriate to display that information.
I seek your feedback.
Many thanks,
Steve Graham (_sdgraham (AT) duckswild (DOT) com_ (mailto:sdgraham (AT) duckswild (DOT) com) )

I neglected to say how great the search deal is! I can wait (sic) to use
it, but when i'm in that predicament, it will be a lifesaver! [C8

I would suggest you coordinate with John Barrs to draw your information
from his lists, or let him update yours when he uploads them to the website.
