Joey's solution is so very quick and satisfying that this is hardly
worth remarking, but I will anyway!
A 1 million-dollar word may only contain letters whose values are
factors of 1 million, namely
2 4 5 8 10 16 20 & 25
so words containing letters other than
b d e h j p t y
may be excluded immediately.
My wordlist with ~ 173000 words has only 112 "valid" words,
including "typey".
