@scruss@xoxo.zone On my system (macOS 15.7.5), `wc -l < /usr/share/dict/words` shows 235,976 words. I did a brute-force, n-squared search, calling rot13 on every word and then `grep -E "^$ROTWORD$" /usr/share/dict/words`. Only after it was done did I smack my forehead and realize I could have stopped after the letter M.
