Tuesday 20 March 2007 — This is close to 18 years old. Be careful.
I made my list of hex words four years ago, and there it has sat. Not until this morning did Larry Junk point out that the word “cafe” was missing from the list. I looked, and sure enough, no cafe, even though I mentioned cafebabe in the first sentence.
Turns out the Moby word list of 74,500 common words includes affettuoso, affenpinscher, and cafard, but not “cafe”. Go figure.
So I found another word list, combined the two, and now my list of 805 hex words is a list of 1196 hex words.

I never thought to use the numbers as well. :-O I wasn't 31337 at the time. Not even 1337.
Thanks for the link!

'cabba9e5' is the word-fill pattern I most commonly use.
