These are the results for REXX exact vs. regular comparisons as per Walter's request.
<br>I no longer have the original ''regular compare'' vs. ''exact compare'' REXX
<br>but I took the (above) existing code and ripped its guts out (er,
<br>simple benchmark test out of it.
I soon discovered that the two versions of the '''if''' statement was being
<br>overhead of the '''do''' loop, so I unrolled the '''if''' statements.
Just for grins, I reversed the order of the compares on every other compare, and I was
<br>somewhat surprised that more CPU time was
<br>I left that modification in the benchmark program.

==Ruby Golfing?==
It looks as if the last Ruby example is just a "Code golf"
What do you think?<br>

==No Dictionary?==
At this moment, the URL for the dictionary (http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt) is returning a 401. Is any action required to remedy this?

: Yes, it would be nice to have a (stable) version of the '''unixdict.txt''' stored somewhere on Rosetta Code, that way, any new computer programming examples would be consistent with those entered before the latest updates or changes that might have been made to the original (dictionary) file. Plus it would eliminate the possibility of any 401 and 404 errors, and the possibility of added cookies from the original host site mentioned above. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:50, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
::I started to look into it, but have to stop, myself. I got as far as [http://www.puzzlers.org/word-lists this page] which states that '''some''' of the lists may be open-source. If someone finds that we could site the list here then we might then try and get a copy re-hosted; but it would have to be the exact same page or saved as a latin_1 encoded text file. (We would not want a copy to cause problems with existing code).
:::I successfully accessed the wordlist using the "Wayback Machine" with this URL ==> https://web.archive.org/web/20180611003215/http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt
:::I'll edit that URL into the page. If that's a mistake feel free to back out my change.
