In case you end up rerunning the contest using READ or RESCORE you want to 
make sure whatever abbreviation you reduce the actual entered value to is 
included in the list. For example

CWLZ = COW would not be okay because CWLZ would not then be a valid entry to 
type.

It would need to be

CWLZ = COW, CWLZ

In these examples the COWL, COWLIT, and COWLITZ are redundant (COW is a subset 
of each...the first three letters match).
