I also asked about building widgets from LC script. The response was, this
could be a step along that path.

Well… the idea was, if storing and working with the data as arrays was crucial,
then I have a method for creating sqLite databases, memory or otherwise, from
arrays and then back again. I don’t know if mobile devices can use memory
databases, or perhaps the data is too much for mobile device

That’s a 2.5MB file. It sounds to me like you are getting virtual memory

I'm thinking the same thing, it's the only explanation. I stopped using
Bob’s suggestion of storing the word list in an sqlite database would keep the
list on disk and not in memory, so avoiding VM swapping which is I think the
basic problem, and also use a much faster search engine than LC to do the
checking for the existence of user candidates. A more elegant

If so, try breaking up the wordlist into 26 files for example - or even more by
length as well as initial letter - kept as resources
It's nice that aCompileIt!/Double-XX replacement is finally coming to
LiveCode, maybe, but it is pretty expensive, at $499/year.
The old timers may remember both of those products, from Heizer Software,
allowed you to compile HyperCard stacks (and build XCMD's and XFCN's).
We will see how smooth
