WILD WALLOPING WUMPI!! Youse does nose your words!!! Well, I originally thought of a dictionary of 200 words, but 200 x 199 x 11 = 437,800, and I can't see anyone having that much diffuiculty dicisioning on a simple (!) pass*word! Actually, had to exclude several possibilities…. "?", "!", "^", "=", "_", "[", "]", and then we get into low graphic symbols….. I figured over 100,000 was enuf!
