@bplus Looking forward to the final version!

If we are talking about Building Word Search Puzzles from Word List files, I've got to say, "I thought I was done already."

But with Richard Frost feedback and my announcing my new Coding Style "experiment" as a result of your program maybe you guys can use the code as an practical which means concrete example to use as examples for good or bad in the interest of better code writing for everyone, I dont think I'd mind if we stick to the intention of better code writing.

Part of my style is going back and modifying old code so having something I wrote 2 years ago and running into a bug, it is important to me how fast you can get up to speed with something you wrote in past so you can fix and make better.

When is final version? When I am dead and buried or when someone else picks up some crumbs and makes better?

this kind of mental attitude is the same of  Francesco Petrarca (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrarch) who wrote and wrote again its masterpiece il Canzoniere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_Canzoniere. The goal of writing again was to reach a superior level of the work.
Programming isn't difficult, only it's  consuming time and coffee

Yeah very popular around the world, Japanese have a word for it, Tony Robbins has CANI (if I recall correctly) Constant And Never-ending Improvement, something like that. Tons of acronym's in Self Help and Positive Psychology great attitude or spirit, up there with GRIT.

I tried thinking positive once, but my brain became too inundated with a whole bunch of homeless electrons. Shocking.

LOL Yeah that must be how it works :) that's when the lights go on and you say to yourself. "Only SCREEN 0, what was I thinking!"
