Clicking camel chicken somehow brought me to a page saying "Ruby on Rails application could not be started".

Yeah, that would be me. I just added a 'browse' section to the right column of the home page, which presents every word and phrase on Wordie listed in alphabetical order. Briefly borked things when I moved it into production.

All better now. Let me know if there's anything I can do to improve that 'browse' business. It's partly for the machines amongst us, but I found it a lot of fun to poke through.

It seems to be putting special characters in unpredictable places. A starts off well with 'a thru a fictional character from a screenplay by chained_bear', but at the bottom of the page, after 'axon thru Å', we have:

# ℮ thru बेध�?ंद

# बेटू thru üğşçö

# ürgsel thru

(Should we continue this on bugs?)

Ooh, an Easter egg: URLs like http://wordie.org/by_letter/2/ and http://wordie.org/by_letter/%22/ will work even though Browse doesn't visibly offer non-alphabetical options. Categorisation still gets a bit weird, though:

# 2nite thru 2x fayreform black bras

# 2t(f √e) thru

# 2x fayreform black bras thru

Edit: I see multiple letters work too: http://wordie.org/by_letter/aa/ For some reason, though, words like aïstopod and año are also turning up there.

Edit: so what determines how many letters I can enter into the URL? aaa gets a 500 Application Error, but wid is accepted...
