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 = 11 and sync exponent 0. The file has 488,434 tokens: 1 START, 1 literal of 1 byte in all, and 488,432 deviations. Deviations by weight, from 1 to 11: 18,816 · 131,712 · 337,819 · 1 · 10 · 16 · 6 · 41 · 7 · 2 · 2.
