Words displays incorrect translation for words that are not in the dictionay

Words-4 on os373pyg on XO-1

Start a new session of Words, the default languages should be English->Spanish

Type "mascot", the translation will be "chew" which is incorrect.

This appears to be because mascot matches the Spanish word mascar which has a reverse translation of chew in english.

When the word to translate no longer matches a word in the dictionary, the last matching (partial or otherwise) translation should not be shown.

Just adding mascot mascota on spanish.txt file shoudl do to fix this.

I don't know if this is the right thing to do, imho i preffer to have 'a' suggestion than nothing.

i think the right thing to do here is keep adding things to the .txt files in order to have a broader DB for words.
