As pointed by Stefan and others, If all you need to do is to find the 
largest length of the words then a simple program such as this one will 
also work.

<========================================================================================================>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
     FILE *gitFile;
     char line[32];
     int max_len = 0;
     int counter = 0;

     if ((gitFile = fopen("words_alpha.txt", "r")) == NULL)
     {
         perror("Error: No such file or directory\n");
         EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
     else
     {
         while (!feof(gitFile))
         {
             fscanf(gitFile, "%s", &line);
             if (strlen(line) > max_len)
             {
                 max_len = strlen(line);
             }
             counter += 1;
         }
     }
     printf("Largest word size is: %zu\n", max_len);
     printf("There are %d lines in the file \n", counter);

     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

<========================================================================================================>

In such a situation speed of loading a file is not important because you 
are trying to read each line one at a time.

I agree this is too simplistic but we don't know what exactly is the 
purpose of the program.
