How to use 60,000 Word Checker

in Working with GS (PC)

Hello,
I'm making a boggle game, so I downloaded: http://gshelper.com/shop/free-templates-and-tutorials/600000-word-checker-demo/
I'm a noob, so don't know how to use this download. I thought it would simply open in GS, but there is nothing to open. Any files that are in the download just open in internet explorer as code stuffs.
Could someone tell me how to use it pleeeeze?

I've been following along with the 14 videos on how to make a boggle game, but now it is to the point where it pertains to this word-checker file and I'm stuck now.

Thank you bunches for any help!

    To be honest, this is a very out dated way now and will probably lag up your game as it searches through the cycle of words.

    Tables is the way to go, Braydons demo is probably the best way for you to find out. Its also free to download

    Thank you jigglybean. That's a good video and helps me see how to use tables. For a boggle game then I guess I would need to enter every available word into the table and have an attribute to search the table to see if the word exists.

    Right -- there is a 270,000 word table around here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

    Ah, found it on my hard drive. Here you are. You can use the tableSearch function to see if a string is really a word.

    My bad. I got it confused with a different table. 178k word table is still pretty good.

    Oh, apparently I can only make up to 100 rows in a table. The table that Braydon_SFX gave me has around 178K rows. Do I need a newer version of GS? Or, will I need to make several tables, each with 100 rows?
