WORDS(6) Games Manual WORDS(6)NAME
hangman, words - word games
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/hangman [ dict ]
/usr/games/words
DESCRIPTION
Hangman chooses a word at least seven letters long from a word list. The user is to guess letters one at a time.
The optional argument names an alternate word list. The special name `-a' gets a particular very large word list.
Words prints all the uncapitalized words in the word list that can be made from letters in string.
FILES
/usr/dict/words the regular word list
/crp/dict/web2 the the -a word list
DIAGNOSTICS
After each round, hangman reports the average number of guesses per round and the number of rounds.
BUGS
Hyphenated compounds are run together.
UNIX software is distributed without the -a word list.

irish - a list of Irish words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/irish is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
/etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to a /usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
/etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default-
wordlist(8) for more information.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO
8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
exist.
