On: Show HN: MidWord – A Word-Guessing Game

I got "Negociate" after like 20 tries, the spelling of which I've never seen. I ended up using the hints to figure it out. When I clicked on the link of the word it took me to a "No results found for negociate!" page on Dictionary.com. Pretty frustrating, might want to double check your word list.

Thanks - cleaned up the list a bit with the help of AI

I suggest having two lists: a small handpicked list of 1500 possible goal words, and a copy of /usr/share/dict/words with common misspellings added as acceptable guesses
