This encourages the bad practice (IMO) of shared data. Only a
single thread should have the dictionary, with an AddWordMsg
struct and a ConfirmWordMsg struct.
Using a message passing approach, the client thread sends an
AddWordMsg and continues while the word is added concurrently,
making it more efficient.
