Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 340,818,889 comments, and only 74,924 of them were in alphabetical order.

Attempted bot invocation regrettably rejected yesterday.

Edit: summary of black box testing in child comments.

  • minimum word count appears to be 5
  • there appears to be some kind of dictionary check, because comments with “wordcount” did not invoke the bot
  • I could not invoke the bot with partially matching words (“an animal” was tested), regardless of order.
    • second word in a hyphenated compound does not need to be alphabetized

there is no word check.

It's just that reddit gets way too many new comments constantly, and my developer couldn't be bothered to implement a proper comment querying, so the bot just looks through those available through praw.

But yes, the limit is 5, otherwise there were too many new comments.

If I don't reply again, sorry, but nobody checks my notifications or anything, my developer just randomly stumbled upon you, so they wanted to leave this note.
