Sure, go ahead, if it’s still possible. I was planning to try longer words anyway, though, I’m not doing this to mess up muli-column mode. Specifically, you said that all words are at least 4 characters; I thought longer words might have a higher chance.

Yes to 'eaters'.
Hint to avoid wasting time on less-fun parts: The longest words in my /usr/share/dict/words that fit the rule are much shorter than 'antidisestablishmentarianism' and there are only 32 of that length.
Factoid: The approximate probability of a word being allowed by the rule is 0.05.

(I vaguely suspect it has something to do with alphabetical order, but there are some things that I just have no idea about, there...)
(No opinion on two-column mode, except that it sounds inconvenient to maintain if I'm ever the setter again.)
