My proper Hangman page (about 7 MB in size) uses words from a
special dictionary file I pieced together with over 267,750 words. The sheer size of the words
array created when the page loads under IE7 or IE9, causes a stupid message about xx or the awds
array not existing, despite having just been declared. If you apply Windows XP SP3,
then IE7 no longer has these problems. However, IE9 under Windows 7 64-bit still fails!
Here is a cut down version with 20,800 words (this loads up much more quickly than the
big one!) :-
