Some word list manipulation ideas

Euphoria speller program by Junko proved to be most effective and
speedy for comparing two lists and finding out words not in the second
list (in this case the sowpods word list).

BK Replacem is the best for tagging specific words with an XXX etc.
Create a search and replace import file with search word and
replacement word in each line. Replace with exact word option. Later
the tagged words can be bookmarked using Textpad and removed.

Anagrams database file can be converted to text by sqlite3 using the
following steps

sqlite3 anagrams.db
.output example.txt
.dump
.quit

command for recreating sqlite3 db file

cat anagrams.txt|sqlite3 example.db
