You're doing it wrong. :-P

And ... what do you think about the evolutivity of your solution? Let's say you must add 20 new Red words?

Then I'll put them in a file. I surely won't keep them in the program itself. Different sources, hotswapping, localization, auditability,... And even if I'm lobotomized, I hope I won't keep them in tuple that's a default parameter with an uppercased name. :-]]

The default parameter of the function is clearly a """tips""" from lots of solutions of yours I've taken inspiration :) For the uppercased name ... I guess I've worked too much with several other languages ^^ (and this time I don't have the 'too early in the morning' excuse :p

Nothing is "clearly" there. I truly hope I didn't do that in the "Clear" category. And surely not for "evolutivity". Ah, the famous "too late in the afternoon" secondary excuse. Yeah, I know that one too. :-)
