I think "words longer than WIDTH" is a bit more clear than "words
greater than WIDTH". WDYT?

Actually, length is incorrect since we might be operating on columns
occupied by the characters. So "wider" is probably more correct.

Well the quantity can be bytes, characters, or columns,
so I was using "greater than" to cater to all those.
I _have_ changed from ">" to "greater than" as it fits
and is easier to read for some, and pushed.

thanks,
