Hi, I'm the guy who made FixPhrase. Their (100% invalid anyways) patent has a convoluted process to convert coordinates to/from words. FixPhrase just takes the coordinates, chops them up into four smaller numbers, then uses those numbers to look up the words in the corresponding (numbered) list.
W3W doesn't have a patent on looking up words by array index.
