wordsOffunction

The words for a text that has been loaded, the commonest first.

A text of kana alone is a reading, and hiragana and katakana find the same words (カミ finds かみ). Any other text is a written form. The text is made plain first (normalizeText): full-width and half-width, stray spaces and invisible characters make no difference. With romaji: true, a text of Latin letters is read as romaji, as it must have been loaded. Nothing here waits: a text that was not loaded is a mistake in the caller, so it throws instead of answering with no words, which would say the dictionary has none.
