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 = 10 and sync exponent 0. The file has 54,096 tokens: 1 START, 1 literal of 1 byte in all, and 54,094 deviations. Deviations by weight, from 1 to 10: 2,349 · 14,094 · 37,584 · 18 · 3 · 5 · 38 · 2 · 1 · 0.
