Exactly. Honestly, while all 28,331 words do not make sense, there are literally thousands that do.
For instance, even after picking 2 words from among the longest sensible options, say, "disintegration" and "wearisomeness",
there are still almost
four thousand (well, 3,816) words left. And that's using two options that could well be a half dozen letters longer each than any of the words in the actual clue. Even two of the maximum length: "meaninglessness" and "interrogatories"
still leave over a thousand additional words in the remaining 18 letters.
