Append the following to the end of the subrule “buzzwords”:

If any of the Buzzwords are contained in the Word Bank, the Puzzler may remove them from the Buzzword list.

My calculations might be incorrect, but I believe there’s a slim potential for buzzwords that can’t be claimed because they were chosen as buzzwords while already being contained in the Word Bank.

If there are fewer than ten Buzzwords, the Puzzler should secretly randomly select a word from the EFF Wordlist which is ***not in The Word Bank*** and add it to the Buzzwords.

That’s correct that that’s in place - however it wasn’t in place at the very start, and there’s a chance one of the original 5 got stuck (I believe)
