> A few HOURS!?? Sorry, but nifty as the game is, I don't have that many hours to waste!!

I wouldn't expect you to. But when you design games, you have to design them for the most avid players, and if someone is willing to play it for "a few hours" except that the word list isn't robust enough to permit that, then I'm losing out. Besides, I wasn't really talking about *consecutive* hours of play but cumulative.

> Anyway, this may be just me, but I've noticed that the "hard" words are easier than the "easy" words.

Yes, longer words are easier because you're less likely to guess a letter that isn't in the word.
