I wonder if using british-english the tile 'ph' would be a lot more prevalent.

(Sulphur, philistine, etc.)

The accompanying code lets you try this [0].

  make -B DICT=/usr/share/dict/british-english
  ...
  ca,co,de,di,ed,er,es,in,li,mp,ng,nt,ra,re,ri,si,st,te,ti,ve
No "ph", but definitely a different optimal tileset! British English swaps "mp" in for "ar".
