What is the ratio of keys whose values are

I was thinking the same thing, but you'd think it would leak on my old tablet too, the one with
far less memory.

What is the ratio of keys whose values are "true" and those which are
"false"?
And what is the ratio

A few years ago I found that 0.1 milliseconds was faster for some crazy reason.
Maybe that bug finally got fixed?

Arrgh.
Try again.
“among the keys of C”
instead of the keys of tCorrWdList like I wrote.
I’ll quit now.

In my Boggle game I have an array containing dictionary words as keys, split as set, so all
values are "true". I need to compare those keys with a list of user words and get back a list
of good words and a list of illegal words.
The loop takes forever. Here it is (sDictFile is a script local):
