Re^3: retain longest multi words units from hash

Yeah, pretty similar, but doesn't impose a predetermined maximum word length on the hash keys. I also optimize by skipping single-word hash keys.

I could have easily dynamically added a new level of slice if needed, but the check would have cost time. OTOH it's very likely the OP can assume a maximum word length, which is still very cheap if generously chosen. > I also optimize by skipping single-word hash keys. Again I thought checking for single words might cost more than just deleting an empty slice. I have to admit I could have put the body of partitions() into the delete-slice , but preferred clarity here and left optimization to the OP.
