Welcome
to The WordsWorth Compendium
"English
is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend,
fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings,
and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual
environment."
*
Willard Gaylin
What is The WordsWorth
Compendium?
The WordWorth Compendium is a database
of some 516,000 English words and phrases.
What is different
about The WordsWorth Compendium?
Ted Clarke initially wrote The WordsWorth
Compendium as a PC utility program to assist with the solving and creation
of Crossword Puzzles. It has proved to be extremely useful for the search
and manipulation of words in all aspects of logological activities.
The structure
of the The WordWorth Compendium
Ted Clarke's unique
and original design of his Compendium lists all words and phrases of equal
length in the same directory. So for example all words consisting of 2
letters are listed in one directory and all words and phrases consisting
of 3 letters are listed in the next directory and so on. This technique
is applied to words and phrases up to 18 letters in length. The letters
of the alphabet are assigned a number and so all words are given a unique
numerical label. The computer program was designed to "read" and manipulate
the words in a variety of ways.
