Looking to why I get different results, perhaps this can help you debug:
~$ ls -l /usr/share/dict

Thanks.

ls: /etc/dictionaries-common/words: No such file or directory
There are also -small and -large versions of this wordlist,
and there are wbritish* and wcanadian* packages as well.
I can't remember installing wamerican manually... I would never have
done it just for "look."
It's not that it doesn't work at all. It just doesn't work
well. At least not with the word list I have.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
