words.txt is based on the Letterpress word list. Changes after 7a08f2f are my own.
I am working on adding recent words like "looksmaxxing" and common proper nouns and proper adjectives like "Wednesday".
Also trying to reduce bad entries. It's ~60% historical garbage, but filtering out false positives is tedious. Goal is for words.txt to be 1.4MB (~500kB gzipped), currently 2.8MB (~900kB gzipped).
super25k.txt is a semi-hand curated list of words that have a letter superset of popular words from https://www.wordfrequency.info and https://github.com/dolph/dictionary. These are words a native speaker can reasonably be expected to know and represent near-optimal plays (i.e, almost all top 25k popular words are a letter subset of some word in this list).
Make sure to access development site via vite's port (probably localhost:5173). Api requests are proxied by vite to a different port.
