Thanks for the cool - much appreciated.

The words are stored in a simple database built using mysql. The page
has two frames, the top frame loads an html page with a lot of links
which call a cgi script written in perl - each link is customised to
pass the search parameters as part of the call. Finally, the
perlscript interrogates the database and builds the results page which
is displayed in the bottom frame.

Doing the html and perl coding, and building the database, was quite
easy. The hard bit was pursuading the pages, scripts and database to
talk to each other on the website...
