I am curious how you’d deal with the ambiguity of contractions vs. ending single quotes. I guess that character between letters can be assumed to be part of the word, but not if it’s between a letter and a space, for example. If you ignore contractions, hyphenated words, and accented characters, you could just match on /[a-zA-Z]+/.

/[a-zA-Z]+/.That’s the thing, nobody even asks this question.
That would already put you in the top 10% of solutions I’ve seen so far on this problem.
