doing #spellbee (https://spellbee.online/) the last week or so has reminded me how fun it is to play a game where the solutions aren't these huge obvious words. and there's no incentive at all to just play in #wordbind and do what its original spirit seemed to be by doubling up on the letters.

#puzzmo's #wordbind is great little mind teaser and all but the temptation to write a little script like:

DICT=/usr/share/dict/words
REGEX="$(sed -e "s/[ \t]//g;s/$.$/\1*/g" <<<"${*}")"
awk "/^${REGEX}\$/ { printf(\"%d\t%s\n\", length(\$0), \$0) }" <"${DICT}" | sort -n

Is kind a lot y'know?
