WORDS vs Tools Words

WORDS is terrific in its ability to list all words that contain what is
specified (wild-card-like). I use it to look for words that already exist
before "reinventing the wheel". I knew that I had seen host-specific memory
access words. However INTERPRETER WORDS (H) displays:
!BASE(H) @BASE(H) THEN(H) ELSE(H) IF(H) 'LOC(H) ok

Whereas Tools menu, Words item displays:
***** *INTERPRETER *****
!BASE(H) @BASE(H) WITH(H) '(H) FIND(H) COMPARE(H) S"(H) MOVE(H) BLANK(H)
ERASE(H) FILL(H) LOCATE(H) ALIGNED(H) ALIGN(H) ALLOT(H) HERE(H) ,(H) C,(H)
2!(H) +!(H) !(H) W!(H) C!(H) 2@(H) @(H) W@(H) C@(H)

Be aware that WORDS only displays a subset, which may cause one to
unnecessarily rewrite those words that are missing (e.g. HOST : HOST-! ! ;
INTERPRETER vs. !(H) ). I wonder which words it leaves out, to understand
the "tool" to know when to use it and when not to...
