I'm happy you picked up on that, because that's what I was hinting at
Yes, you could loop through each plain continually chopping it from different positions until we find a match. The important thing to realize is you probably don't need a full match -- a partial match should suffice for detecting if the word is random. This will also help detect words that probably aren't random, but also aren't exactly in your wordlist.You could write a plethora of different rules for trying to match against your wordlist. Hopefully this got you on the right track though.

Yeah, you can just redirect stdout from this into a new file to get all of the apparently non-random words. I sent all of the 'looks random' messages to stderr, so if you just did >newords you'd still see the 'looks random' messages on stderr without affecting the contents of the file.

Hi epixoip
Thank you once again for your post, very helpful.
I am thinking up new rules for this all the time. Also I think I should search for the longest words first not the shortest as shorter words are often in longer words. Pass from password for example.
I am going to give this more thought as it will be useful for ULM.
Thank you.
