Hi,
could you elaborate a bit on this? I am on OSX 11.12.6 and MMA 11.2 and it appears to work just fine:
Flatten[WordData[#, "Hyphenation"] & /@ WordList[]] // Counts
and
WordCloud[Flatten[WordData[#, "Hyphenation"] & /@ WordList[]]]
It also runs quite fast - about 10 seconds. I am running it in the Cloud right now. I don't have the free account, but a standard one. I'll let you know.
UPDATE: This is still running. I can see that on the free version it might not work. I think that in particular the WordData for the hyphenation is slow. You can still split the words into smaller groups (downloading all words is quite fast) and so split the computations into shorter bits.
UPDATE 2: It actually did not finish in the cloud even on paid-for accounts (standard Mathematica Online and Producer Development Cloud).
Cheers,
Marco
