## API
### `anArrayOfEnglishWords`
`Array.` — List of all English words, lowercased.
## CLI
Install the CLI globally:
```sh
npm i -g an-array-of-english-words
```
Now run `words` to print all the words to stdout:
```sh
words
```
Use `grep` to filter by pattern:
```sh
words | grep cheese
```
Use `egrep` to filter with regular expressions:
```sh
words | egrep '^fun' # start with 'fun'
words | egrep 'ification$' # end with 'ification'
words | egrep 'ou?r$' # end in 'or' or 'our'
```
Use `wc` to find out how many `monkey` words there are:
```sh
words | grep monkey | wc -l
```
Ten random ten-letter words (note: on macOS, do `brew install coreutils` to get
[`gshuf`][shuf]):
```sh
$ words | egrep '^.{10}$' | gshuf | head -10
```
