Is the syllables column in the DICTIONARY necessary for hangman? I'm guessing you grabbed it from qdap so that's what that's in there but it seems to just add some unnecessary size to the package. We could probably reduce the dictionary down to a simple vector. And while we're at it maybe prune down the dictionary? I'm not sure mmhmm and hmph are proper hangman words.

I reduced the DIctionary to a single column but am pretty lazy at the moment to fix it to a vector as the code in the hangman function expects a dataframe I believe. I have a big conference this week so maybe later. Technically mmhmm and hmph are interjections and thus considered words, but feel free to prune at will. It's roughly 20000 words so some hand parsing would take some time.
