I've often found it quite fun to type random words into a Siteswap animator to see which words are actually valid and, if they are, what they look like. Of course, before I was just using guesswork and never managed to find many more than "test" or the acronym "lol". I was recently interested in pursuing this further and having recently programmed a set of Sitswap-based scripts in JavaScript, decided to see if I could find out all the words that are valid Siteswaps.
I thought the results were quite interesting, so here are the results of my investigation.
There are 615 words that are valid Siteswaps out of the 23,892 words I checked.
The longest of these words are 9 letters long and are: "crotchety" and "teakettle".
The rest can be found here: http://7ringflash.com/fun/words.txt
I found it surprising just how many there were, and that there could be ones that long. What do you think about it?

I did something like that a long time ago. Luckily, I'm a packrat with my code, so I was able to dust it off and run it against /usr/share/dict/words on my Mac. I came up with the following:
11: endosteally, tachhydrite
10: chilliness, hindersome, ischialgic, myelocoele, resistable, stubbiness
9: (77 words, including crotchety and teakettle)
Cheers,

Isn't 'resistable' actually spelled 'resistible'? Surprised it was in your
