void UBullCowCartridge::BeginPlay() // When the game starts

{

    Super::BeginPlay();

    const FString WordListPath = FPaths::ProjectContentDir() / TEXT("Wordlists/HiddenWordList.txt");

    FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArray(Words, *WordListPath);

    Words = GetValidWords(Words);

    PrintLine(TEXT("The library consists of %i valid isograms"), Words.Num());

    SetupGame();    

}

I implemented the runtime HiddenWordList parser from earlier.
I saw no reason to maintain 2 wordlists so I replaced the full wordlist array from the library with the new ValidWords array.

TArray<FString> UBullCowCartridge::GetValidWords(TArray<FString> WordList) const

{

    TArray<FString> ValidWords;

    for (int32 Index = 0; Index < WordList.Num(); Index++)

    {

        if (WordList[Index].Len() >= 4 && WordList[Index].Len() <= 8 && IsIsogram(WordList[Index])) // Check for Isograms between 4 and 8 Characters long

        {

            ValidWords.Emplace(WordList[Index]);

        }

        

    }

    return ValidWords;

}

And I got 452 valid words at runtime. Yay!

Here is my code so far, everything is going fine to this point c:
