How it was found

Halfar's selection C with Pantone's construction, lifted twice as in Echols's 2-lift, with the closed trails in the order of Halfar's n = 12 and n = 13 plans on C; 91 below Echols's 93,904,804,516. Published only as a recipe (gen14.c and a unit plan), as Echols published his n = 14 words.

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 = 14 and sync exponent 21. The file has 686,531,485 tokens: 1 START and 686,531,484 deviations, with 327 SYNC tokens besides. Deviations by weight, from 1 to 14: 19,588,800 · 195,888,000 · 471,040,414 · 0 · 7,498 · 1,261 · 1,755 · 1,216 · 502 · 779 · 513 · 371 · 203 · 172.
