Eon’s ago I had a similar problem in Fortran.

My solution was to break up my huge array into 3 smaller
alphabetical arrays.  I had to first determine with some
if statements which of the 3 arrays I had to search.

The solution turned a glacially slow search into a very acceptable one.

You may want to try a similar solution.

That's a thought, though I hate to go there. I was using the SOWPODS dictionary which has a gazillion words, and switched to a different, shorter word list and that did help a bit.

I noticed today though that there's a more general slowdown overall. When I first launch the app it takes only a second to set up the board display. If I keep hitting the "new board" button repeatedly, each setup takes a bit longer.
