Instead of putting the keys into tCorrWdList and using
“among the lines of tCorrWdList",
how about using “among the keys of tCorrWdList”?
Judging from no knowledge of the internals but guessing what it must do:
“among the lines” has to look for all the line endings (unicode!),
but “among the keys” can jump along by constant offsets since
the keys are all fixed length hashes ?
The lines happen to be all the same length, but “among the lines” can’t assume
that and has to go look.
Maybe I’m missing something again . . .

Actually, this is what I do:
if sDictFile[L] = true then...
which I thought would be pretty fast since it's accessing the array directly. The array looks
like this:
sDictFile
word1 -> true
word2 -> true
word3 -> true
And my loop does this, for each user word:
if sDictFile["word2"] = true then...
so I'm not really looping through the keys, just looking for a matching one. The loop is for
each user word I need to find. If there's no key, then the word isn't legal. I hope that makes
sense.
