you see the output. It has 3 problems:

1.) it does not discard the words containing anything else than
letters. Rather it discards everything else and read the letters.
I simply want to discard the *whole* word if it contains anything
else than 26 letters of English. See the last input where I input
your name with junk between CB and Falconer and it read them :(

No. Your own demo shows that it reads and discards them.
