Top-Down Seems Best in Full Searches

Abstract

In "Designing a List of Word Squares" (August 1996), I showed that a word list intended for finding squares is improved by balancing the beginning and ending letter-frequencies of words. In "Bottom-Up Finds Some Squares Faster" (November 1996) I showed that under certain conditions the old formists' bottom-up strategy is superior to a top-down one.
