Re: [QUIZ] Word Blender (#108

Hi,

I'm new to ruby and this is my first quiz entry, so
feel free to offer any feedback/suggestions etc.

Requires file english.txt (dicttionary) to be in same
dir as source.

Play is very basic as I've had to fit this in around
four young kids...
Enter a six letter word to progress to the next round
(another six letters), or as many smaller words as you
like to stay in the same round.

Cheers,
Dave

I like it. Looks nice and clean. My only suggestion would be to
prefer string interpolation to addition. For example:

"Short words: " + @short_words.length.to_s

Is simpler as:

"Short words: #{@short_words.length}"

Saves some to_s() calls at the very least.
