Hi everyone,

I am aware that my posting is not of a liguistic nature, sorry for that, but I 
suspect that I might find people around here that could help me out.

I am operating and still developing the interactive WWW-game 'Lingo for WWW', 
wich is an adaption of a dutch television-show-wordgame. Objective of the game 
is to guess a five-letter word. The wordlist I use now origins from the 
crossword-archives and is dramatically overcomplete, featuring words like 
'chevy', 'yecch' and 'blocs'. The appearance of these words does not add up to 
the fun of playing, so I am looking for a less extensive lexicon. I am only 
interested in the 5-letter words, but I could sieve out the other ones from a 
complete list.

If you have any wordlist that seems suitable for my purpose, please mail me.

I am:  duynstee@cpedu.rug.nl

Curious? :  http://indy6.cpedu.rug.nl:8084/lingo.html
