Suggestion for a potentially useful tool

[sts10]

Love this concept and clearly stated goals. Just wanted to do a bit of hopefully useful self promotion for a tool I wrote called Tidy that may be able to help you reach some of your design goals.

For example, running tidy -o new-list.txt -Ll -AA current-list.txt will remove all words with letters with diacritical marks and lowercase all characters. Thanks to the -AA flags, Tidy will then print some information about the resulting list, including "Efficiency per character" (measured in bits), which may help you toward your stated goal of Brevity. You can also set a maximum word length with -M <max_length>.

And I definitely welcome issues or feature ideas for the tool! As an English-only speaker, I'm curious if there are needs that other languages expose that I haven't thought of.
