When we set up the scrabble game, one of the requirments was to use
the word in a sentence. Even if this is not a requirment, then you
would have to know what class (noun, verb, chuvmey) a word was in
order to add affixes.
Without doing a lot of work on comparing two letter sequences, here
is my proposed substitution on the Boggle dice. The derivation comes
from a frequency count in English and tlhIngan Hol.
