The big problem with the decoder is the size of the dictionary (61,000 entries)--much too big. Many of the words you will not recognize. Anyone know of a more reasonable dictionary?

I don't know which dictionary you are using, but my Boggle game uses the FRELI word list, which is free and unrestricted for anyone's use. It comes in at 557K. I store it as a .gz compressed custom property and decompress it into RAM when Boggle opens. This saves a great deal on disk size.

FRELI is here:

Since I didn't need the parts of speech, I used a regular expression (using BBEdit) to remove those before storing the file. That also decreased its size considerably.
