something to help reduce the non-recognized words would be
to have a dictionary in the database that is made up of words
found in program listings.  that way, you can match on made-up
words found in existing shows.  that database would update
whenever new programs came along and wouldn't need to remove
old words, in case you want to add a description for a show
that doesn't currently exist in the program listings.

the words kept in this way wouldn't need to rely on an external
wordlist, and could work well for any language, since the list
is built on used words...  :)

I would think, though, that some different words are built using
the same sequence of numbers (mostly shorter words) and there
should be a method to select one word from a list of matching 
words for those cases.

just contributing ideas...
