I agree, but I'm not sure how to "reset" the ctx for each word, I see no
mechanism for that. I now tried copying it prior to the candidate
generation and reset to the copy each time and it's 2x faster (which is
still slow) but I seem to get different results (will investigate more).

The logging is bad and should be dropped, but it doesn't affect speed much.

I see no mechanism for doing this (and ending up with a pruned list of
rules to use). If there is one we should use it in wordlist mode too.
