Words Hidden in the Dedication of Shakespeare's Sonnets

Here are words of four or more letters that have been found in arrays based on the first 144 letters of the dedication to Shakespeare's Sonnets. The words are grouped by length and alphabetized within groups. The words themselves are given in uppercase. An I may represent either a "J" or an "I"; a V may be either a "U" or a "V". Most of the words appeared in a list of words that are allowed in Scrabble; others were found in lists of names. In order to search for spellings current in Shakespeare's time, a list was compiled of words used by George Puttenham in The Arte of English Poesie (1589), or by Shakespeare in the Sonnets (1609) or in the First Folio Hamlet or Othello (1623). Following each word is a key to its location. The first two digits identify the array (from 02 columns to 35 columns); the second two digits identify the column in which the word was found; the lowercase "d" or "u" indicates whether the word is found by reading down the column or up.

You may search the original arrays; but it is easier to search the arrays if they have been rotated. There is also a list of words grouped by array.
