:::::: On top of which, 400+K words would be just too many for the purpose of script testing – a waste of time, heat and fuel. The brevity of the MIT10000 is a quality in itself. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 14:48, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 
::::::: Which is a good point and brings me also to another frustration: I was after words that can be pronounced. The "ARC RCA CAR" triple has "RCA". Yeah, it's a word. Sort of. RCA cables and all that. But going back to the coaster and the illustration, "TEA EAT ATE" are speakable words. RCA involves saying the name of each letter. But then what do you do with LASER? It's an acronym but almost no one knows what it stands for -- it's been assimilated into regular parlance. The huge DWYL list is chock full of initialisms and acronyms and assorted unspeakable "words". And yes, it's a WOMBAT (a Waste Of Money, Brains And Time.) -- at least for this task.
