@mnrvovrfc: I'm glad you found a screen mode that works for you.
I have trapped the down-arrow key in the later version that I'm preparing - it will be ignored, and the Esc key will be the only exit. Thanks for finding my "deliberate error"
@bplus: My bad! Sorry.
I should have zipped the WordLists file with the worm.bas file, but I zipped the WordLists.7z file instead, so it was "double-zipped". I'll fix that.
As for a Player vs Computer mode, I'll look at that; It may be hard to get a timely response from the computer, as it would need to examine all options - checking for a completed word; checking a group's validity (against the whole dictionary) ; or adding a "valid" letter before, after, or in between; or conceding.
An interesting project! Thanks.

Of all the places on Earth, and all the planets in the Universe, I'd rather live here (Perth, Western Australia.)
