I used this ruby one-liner

ruby -e "puts File.readlines('List of English Words.txt').find_all{|word| word =~ /^[abcdef]+\n$/i}"

A AAA ABA ABC AC ADA Ab Ababa Abba Abe Ada Adad Adda Ade B BCD Bab Bee Beebe C CA CAD CB CDC CDF Caca D DC DEC Dacca Dada Dade De Deb Dec Decca Dee E EBCD Ecca Ed Edda F FAA FCC FDA Faba Fabaceae Fe Feb a aa ab aba abac abaca abaff abb abba abbe abc abed ac acca accede acceded ace aced ad ada adad add adda added ade adead ae aface afaced afb afd aff affa b ba baa baaed baba babe bac bacaba bacca baccae bad bade bae baff baffed bb bcd be bea bead beaded bebed bed bedad bedded bede bedead bedeaf bee beebee beef beefed c ca cab caba cabda cad cade caeca cafe caffa cc cd cdf ce ceca cede ceded cee cf d dB da dab dabb dabba dabbed dace dad dada dade dae daff daffed db dc dca dcb de dead deaf deb dec decad decade dee deed deeded deedeed deface defaced e ea ebb ebbed ebcd ecad ecb ed edda edea ef eff efface effaced f fa facade facaded face faced fad fade faded fae faff fe feb fed fee feed feeded Perhaps you can use these to make your WEP wifi password easier to rattle off to your guests.
