Why this archive page does not dump every raw accepted spelling

This puzzle supported 534 accepted words in total. 8 of them carry stable definition support in the WordHive data layer, so those are the ones surfaced here for readable archive value.

The archive still reflects the puzzle's full accepted-word count and stable puzzle contract, but it keeps the public recap focused on useful, definition-backed vocabulary instead of exposing a noisy raw dictionary dump.

526 additional accepted spellings remain part of the puzzle contract even though they are not listed individually on this public recap page.
