ScrabbleBuilder class

Compress Scrabble word file into a compressed readable string.

The steps in the compression are as follows:

  1. Prefix encoding The current word is compared with the previous word The word is encoded as the length of the common prefix followed by the suffix For example: use, used, useful, usefully are encoded as 0use, 3d, 3ful, 6ly
  2. Plural optimization Words that are the previous word with suffix 's' are represented by a special flag character
  3. Dictionary encoding - optional, minimal effect Every word (with its prefix length) is added to a dictionary with the count of occurrences The dictionary is sorted by occurrence count, and the most valuable are used in a lookup array
  4. GZIP and Base64 of compressed buffer
