Everyone knows that there are 51798 words in the dictionary.
I've also worked out that one of my arrays will need 122545 entries.

I assume it is ok to code these constants into the program.

In contest #2, you specify a library routine. Therefore I expect you
to invoke my code with

include myfile
...
select(pattern)

in a standard test rig rather than the dos prompt redirection thingy.
Is that right? If not, do you want a library routine and a loading
program, or do you want them munged into a single standalone program?

You also specify "a sequence containing all the words". Should this be
in alphabetical order? I'm going to assume not unless otherwise told.
