in reply to Next from inner loop only works "most of the time"

BTW, what about singular and plural?

for my $result ( @results ) { …; for my $key ( keys %seen ) { …, } …; }

    My "cheater program" is not designed to solve the puzzle automatically. It is to give me hints when I get "stuck". My 150K line dictionary contains lots of plural words. "car", "cars" etc. If on an easy puzzle, I hit on "saw", I will immediately type in "saws", but I very likely might miss say, "resaw" or "resawer".

    Some of these puzzles are ridiculously hard. I think you have to have a mutant brain or a heck of a lot experience or a Perl program assistant to solve some of these things. Or as the program authors want you to do, watch a lot ads in order to get hints.
