The problems should be fixed now. I have added quenyen's git repo as an alternative source in the comments.
I agree that pushd/popd could probably be replaced by cd. They were in the script that I inherited when I adopted the package so I left them there. They don't really cost anything and maybe someone somewhere has some script that sources the wrapper script so I may as well just leave them. If anyone has a strong argument to remove them (practical or philosophical), present it ;)

BTW...I have forked it at my github account, just to be sure that I can always get it.....

If you should need it in the future.

@quenyen Oh, I know that. I just mean it could just use cd instead of pushd/popd.
quenyen commented on 2015-10-31 01:53
BTW....yes the pushd and the popd is necessary, whitakers words must be run from the right directory

You seem to have forgotten to bump the pkgrel, which seems appropriate if latin.sh is updated (and improved).
Oh, and is it really necessary to use pushd/popd rather than cd? As far as I know there is no need for a bash script to reset the working directory.

I have updated the package with all 3 suggestions (thanks). I have also made some other changes to the PKGBUILD that I should have made when I first adopted it.

It seems this program is often referred to as Whitaker's words (after the author). I searched the AUR for that, and finding nothing, created a package whitakers-words, until someone pointed out that it was already in the AUR. I have requested deletion of that package.
Perhaps Whitaker's name should be added to the description of as a tag so it will show up in aur searches for "whitaker's words".

I noticed one error in this, it is minor but it could really help some folks, if they ever use it. It suprises me that it is this unpopular I use the devil out of it. Anyway...here it is...
The script that runs the application works okay, but the program takes an arbitrary number of arguments for words normally.
As a result....typing
words amo
results in just running the app.
I recommend that instead of just executing ./words after the popd...we do it this way
#!/bin/bash
pushd /usr/share/words-1.97FC
./words "$@"
popd
That way all of the words will be passed in from the command line
