I noticed this line, I wonder why it was omitted from this problem statement:
Every maximal horizontal or vertical sequence of two or more letters must be a word in the input.

I iterate through each set of N words and try to fill the slots in the 10 by 10 grid. I assume each word must be used exactly once.
I also noticed there are words in the input with a length greater than 10 but less than 20, I assumed these words won't fit in any slot.
