To improve the algorithm, I need more sentence beginnings that I know have a resolution, for analysis. So please let me know of any successes you have.
As robin pointed out here a number of successful sentences can be found at this site.
Can you give us an idea of what kind of output we should expect? I ran your code (with my own starting string "I wish I could write a sentence using") and got lots of stuff like this:
2 94-acdefghinorstuvwxy
3 89-cefghinorstuvwxy
4 68-cefghinortuvwy
7 45-efghinorstv
8 26-efhilnorstuvwx
10 22-fghinorstuwxy
Will I get the full sentence if I wait long enough?
It's certainly an interesting puzzle.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
