the two packages seem to provide different word lists.
Yes. The ‘words’ package’s source is the Moby Project, released into the
public domain in the mid-1990s:

The words file in my package comes from an out-of-copyright edition of the
Merriam-Webster dictionary from the 1920s.
Therefore, the words package is more likely to be useful for any modern purpose.
So are you happy for me to upload the 'words' package as it is at the
moment?
Dave.
