When solving a problem with a given data structure makes your head hurt,
that may be an indication that your head's fine and the problem is with
the data structure. :)
Can you tell us a bit more about your goal with this?
In your example output, if we look at this line:
WordLocationA["Cut"][1][100,320]
What do these numbers signify?
And what will you be doing with this index once you have it?
