There were. Whether I've cleaned them up properly is another question...

Here's the big one, anagram indicators added (1624 of them). This list was scraped and automatically classified (albeit with me iteratively checking things) so there's a good chance it contains errors and/or dodgy indicators. Please shout if you spot problems!

I've been slightly reluctant to let users create their own groups make it easier to manage.

That said, it might be worth me rethinking how the groups are structured so there’s a bit more flexibility.

Hmm, I tried to avoid creating very narrow groups that would only ever contain one or two entries, which is why I didn’t add things like "second letters" or "first pair" etc. I'm not completely sold on "specified letter" tbh, as it feels a bit too broad and could overlap with other groups.

No problem at all 🙂

Glad to see it's working as intended. And if it's not, I was never here...

Nice. This is on my to-do list but pretty far down! Happy to contribute if you're open to PRs.

This feels like when Elon started firing Twitter developers because they hadn't hit their daily lines-of-code quota 🫠
