It works just fine

$ grep 'e$' /usr/share/dict/words  | head -10
Aaqbiye
Aaronite
abacate
abacinate
Abadite
abaisance
abaisse
abalienate
abalone
abampere


I suspect something odd in the words2.txt file. Perhaps invisible
characters at the end of line - DOS Ctrl+M's being the obvious
candidate.

Regards,
Dan.
