Use a different dictionary?

Currently, Boggle uses this repo of ~470k words: https://github.com/dwyl/english-words However, the large corpus means a lot of hint results are highly suspect and wouldn't make sense in most contexts. Another good option is https://gist.github.com/h3xx/1976236; currently writing scripts to trim words that contain punctuation or non-ASCII characters. To do:

• [x] Look up official boggle rules on how words are determined to be legal.
• [x] Look for dictionary scrapers (Merriam-Webster, etc).
• [x] Look for other good sources of English word sets.

Official Boggle rules use the Scrabble Dictionary, which is also derived from the Official Tournament and Club Word List (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Tournament_and_Club_Word_List); a 2014 version was located through another github project (https://gist.github.com/mrflip/1516fa9e28c421a2f71e) and the words are listed here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mrflip/1516fa9e28c421a2f71e/raw/word_list-2014.tsv.
