Decoding needs detour; see the Detour format for how to build and install it. The checkers are in checkers-rs-source.tar.gz, which needs Rust 1.89 or later; each one decodes the file itself, so the word is never written out.
The file's header gives n = 9 and sync exponent 0. The file has 6,756 tokens: 1 START, 1 literal of 1 byte in all, and 6,754 deviations. Deviations by weight, from 1 to 9: 336 · 1,680 · 4,687 · 4 · 4 · 39 · 3 · 1 · 0.
