HashSet will quickly tell you if a word is in a list, but it won't
give you any order.

You can export the data to a array or ArrayList and sort it.  Then you
can linearly scan for it or use binary search.

Or you can build a HashMap that gives you the order# given the word.

This all blows up in you face if you keep adding words,

Your question may be ill-formed.  It seems to me there can be multiple
answers to the question.
