My post which introduced 83boo was using words starting with b (and
prepending an arbitrary one or two digit number on each of them).
Specifically, on a mac:
bwords=: (#~ 'b' = {.@>) <@tolower;._2 fread '/usr/share/dict/words'
bbases=: 1+i.99
nums=: __&".@> bnums=:(":&.>bbases),&.>/bwords
That truncating the number and b leaves a palindrome was just a coincidence.
Also, I expect that 'boo' would be legal in Official Scrabble even in the US.
Or am I wrong about that?
Thanks,
