Most of the words I found were 3-4 letter with the rare 5, this is
typical, and makes for a harder search. It is much fun though to find
the hidden words.

So it is. I didn't realise that. :-)

I thought it might have, but when ispell was no help I decided to leave
it as is. :)

I was about to with this one, but fancied a change. I also started to
collect words for an AOLS wordsearch last night. I think both of these
will come in time. :)

Great :)

I didn't think there was that many. FWIW, the Mark was intentional.
There should be a Hill nearby the Mark, unless I've messed it up.
(However, I can't confirm that because I can't find the Mark :) ).

That's interesting.
