def load_words():
print("Loading word list from file...")
# inFile: file
inFile = open(WORDLIST_FILENAME, 'r', 0)
# wordlist: list of strings
wordlist = []
for line in inFile:
wordlist.append(line.strip().lower())
print(" ", len(wordlist), "words loaded.")
return wordlist

Yet all I get in return is the error message:
builtins.ValueError: can't have unbuffered text I/O

earlier in that code there was one statement
WORDLIST_FILENAME = "words.txt"
I hope u remember to compile it.
