TODO | Future Optimizations

• pare down the words list (remove plurality, past tenses, etc)
• allow user to supply their own wordlist instead of builtin list.
• api with endpoints to solve and generate puzzles
• use a seed for randomization to generate the same 3 words with the same key provided a seek argument
