I was wondering about this but I haven't looked yet.

...

So I just took a look now. Are you talking about the huge list of ~12,974 words embedded right in the code?

There are two massive lists, one is the wordlist and one is the actual answers in date order.
Yes, if like me you search the source for the word you just won with, you will see future answers, as they are listed in order (at least the preceding word was yesterday's answer)
ohhhhh, ok I see it now. I wasn't paying attention to order or even any of the other words.

I made sure not to look at the words after today's as I don't want to cheat.
