Wikipedia spells it differently but I think this is what you meant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathetus Meanwhile I ran an exhaustive search program and found there is no 10 word solution. That search took about 13 hours on my i7-3770. Searching for 11 word solutions would take between 1 and 2 weeks. I'd rather try a better algorithm.
