Method Details
- handleClient
  
  public void handleClient(Socket client)
  
  The handleClient function is called by the server when a new client connects. It reads in the word that was sent from the client and checks if it is in either of our dictionaries. If it is, then we send back "true" to indicate that this word exists, otherwise we send back "false". We also check for any challenge words sent from clients and add them to our dictionary if they are not already there.
