An easy check for total words is that there are 51795 lines in the file 
(each containing one valid word).  The following three words are omitted 
for being over 20 characters:

Line:    Word:
14986:   ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPH
14987:   ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
22727:   IMMUNOELECTROPHORESIS

I contend that no word from words.txt should be omitted... perhaps the 
max word length limit should be 22?
