Strictly you're correct. If we read the rules it does imply that the pattern is
case sensitive.

"Assume that the numbers 0 to 32 are used to indicate the pattern, while the
numbers above 32 are
the ASCII codes of literal characters to be matched (including apostrophe and
hyphen)."

And thus applying lowercase characters in the pattern to WORDS.TXT would be a
waste of time.

Because the other competition's stressed case-insensitivity, I assumed it would
apply to this comp
as well. Thank's for pointing out my error.
