I you only want to select one letter a grid will work.

If anybody want to test my four letter selection document it is available at:

Interesting and a huge file. I guess it would work but I think a different approach might work better. I would suggest taking a real dictionary and looking at the words at the top of a page that show the range of entries on that page. (Or perhaps 2 pages) I think one approach would be to put those words in a graphically arranged list and use them as entry points into a dictionary. Head the list with a table of first letters and in some cases maybe a second table with 2 letters for more popular letters. Use a smart approach instead of a brute force approach.
