In my experience it takes a few days to mine 7 characters (on a premium computer from 2017), so you might want to set up a process in the background on a desktop to run for a few weeks and see if you can get all eleven characters. You can also, without any additional processor power, add a list of words and phrases that are acceptable alternatives like "snews", "stacknew", "sntor" or something else

I'm not unhappy with the current one. Not as clear as 'stackernews' but good enough.
