It assumes that these lists are already stripped of special chars because the user should not copy these lists by hand but instead install them with crosswords install
, which downloads a list and remove special chars. I need to add support for special chars.
Yes, though my point is that special char support is needed for this to gain widespread adoption (based on the current community). Is there value in leaving this ticket open as a reminder?
Yep.
This may appear related to #2 but it is different as it applies to the handling of each word in
words.get_matches
.I copied
/usr/share/dict/words
unchanged aswords
to use as list of words but it wasn't able to find the wordAsunción
when searching forcrosswords -l words Asunci??
.From experience I've seen crossword fanatics gather words from all kinds of sources. It's therefore not practical to assume that word lists already in use will only contain words "without accents, hyphens or special chars" (as the README currently says).
