Problem

Symptoms: What is the reason for having a common word list and a main word list for the Speller? Solutions: The common word list has the most commonly used spellings of words and is 75% full. The main word list holds all of the 115,000 words and is 50% full. By design, the Speller will look to the common word list first and if it can't find the word in question, it resorts to the main word list followed by the supplemental dictionary. The reason for using two word lists is for speed. If the Speller finds the word quickly in the smaller (common) list, it doesn't have to go through all 115,000 (main) words every time.
