When I run sbcl and then the load instruction, I get the following

Why can't lisp parse the words file? UTF8 problem?
That's what it looks like, but it works on my Debian box with sbcl
0.9.9 and a /usr/share/dict/words with extended chars, but it's
encoded in latin-1, afaict. What versions of things are you using?
Is the words file actually encoded in utf-8, or did it get confused
about it somehow? You might try replacing the (defvar *words* form
with this, to force latin-1:
(defvar *words*
(with-open-file (words *words-file* :direction :input :external-
format :latin-1)
(let ((hash (make-hash-table :test 'equal)))
(loop (let ((line (read-line words nil)))
(if line
(setf (gethash line hash) t)
(return))))
hash)))
