Yes, but on a desktop system, we actually have that memory. And time is even
less important. This does it, by converting the list into an array and then
stepping backwards through that array:
Variable words[]
: words ( -- )
[: words[] dup $[]# swap $[] ! true ;] context @ traverse-wordlist
source nip 1+ words[] $@ bounds cell- swap cell- U-DO
I @ .word
cell -LOOP drop
words[] $free ;
Works in the current development system.

Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for.
