Answer

If such words would exist:

somebody who eat words = Wortefresser
words that eat = Fressworte

The main part of the compound is the last part. "Fresserworte" just sounds wrong.

BTW, "fressen" is the version of "essen" that is impolite or applies to animals. One could make both compounds also with "essen" (Worteesser, Essworte).
