Counting Trigrams for Fun

There is a thread over at the forums for the xkcd comic strip with a puzzle game to find trigrams. To help out my brain which has been full of number-related work lately, I whipped up a Python script “trigramtastic.py” to help find more challenging trigrams for the game. Feeding it things like /usr/share/dict/web2 can produce some helpful results, although there are a lot of other potential data sources.
