Nested Compound Word Finder

This Java program looks through a list of words in a dictionary to find nested compound words and their parts.

What is a nested compound word?

A nested compound word is a word that can have a smaller word removed from its interior such that the remaining letters concatonate to form a different word. I coined the term in October 2023.

An example is reward: remove the word war from its center, and the remainng letters re and d concatonate to form the word red.

Another example is fragile. Remove the word rag from its center, and the remainng letters f and ile concatonate to form the word file.
