Chris -- Interesting problem. But test #6 somehow got truncated and doesn't work.

ChrisR on 4 May 2021

Thanks William. My reference code worked last night. I think Cody truncated Test 6 and the seven after it because the cell array WORDS was too long. I removed several tests and asked Cody to rescore.

The test suite can be made (a bit) more interesting by adding words list in non-sorted order
