TJPride,
You filtered things out that shouldn't have been (capitalization/punctuation don't matter for instance). Here is the code that I am using to filter my list:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my %seen;
open(my $fh, '<', '2of12inf.txt') or die "Unable to open '2of12inf.txt
+' for reading: $!\n";
while (<$fh>) {
    chomp;
    $_ = lc($_);
    tr/a-z//cd;
    next if ! $_ || length($_) > 8 || $seen{$_}++;
    print "$_\n";
}

This should be 100% accurate with any given word list

I will be using the same dictionary with my brute force solution so I will let you know though I won't be filtering out all the words you have.

Cheers - L~R

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
