Ok. I cheated....

I grabbed a list of "west" words and hopefully removed all the words longer than 10 chars... and yes... tumbleweed is listed... lol

I have made a slight modification to the game.

Game now checks for the existence of the word list. Counts the number of words. Dimension's wordlist$() accordingly then inputs the word list. Text message displayed if file does not exist...

It works but probably could be coded better... It's what i know... lol

Might want to use DATA statements to embed a minimal set of words into the program.  Then, if the text file is missing, or corrupted, the game can still be played, with a reduced difficulty.  ;)

Oh man I remember way back a certain list of unheard of unspellable words ;-))

Yep! first 2 words were: "decadist", "urinator"

Steve,

Good idea. Sounds like a plan.

Bplus,

All the word in there are real. But, I think, 11k+ words may be a bit of an overkill... lol
I think a smaller file and Steve's idea may be the way to go...

Wouldn't it be cool to have a choice (or random selection) of multiple word lists and multiple themes? I've seen differently themed Hangman games but not multi-themed in one game... Could be fun... Might put it on "the wish list"...

Time for coffee with a lunch chaser...

OMG they have figurines from that Episode!

Oh it was from the Original Star Trek, Spectre of the Gun, that I am remembering, I think?
