CS50x - Speller - Infinite loop on check() function

Question

I'm getting some kind of infinite loop on my check function for Speller in CS50x, and I'm also getting some bizarre results from the cursor in the terminal via printf. I'm sure what to make of this, but nothing I've tried has helped. This issue doesn't seem to happen if I use the small dictionary, but the spell check doesn't work in that case anyway...

Lastly, I do think I'm loading the dictionary into the hash table correctly (via the load function). I.e. I'm not getting any errors to the contrary.

// Returns true if word is in dictionary, else false
bool check(const char *word)
{

    if (isalnum(word[0]))
    {
        // Create a cursor to move through the linked list by hashing the word to get the bucket location
        node *cursor = table[hash(word)];
        if (cursor == NULL)
        {
            return false;
        }

        while (cursor != NULL)
        {
            printf("Fire5\n");
            printf("word from text source: %s\n", word);
            printf("word at cursor: %s\n", cursor->word);

            // Check if the word at that point in the linked list is a match
            if (strcasecmp(word, cursor->word) == 0)
            {
                return true;
            }

            // If the word is not a match, take the cursor and move it to the next node on the linked list.
            cursor = cursor->next;
        }
    }
    
    return false;
}

EDIT: This is how I initialize the table:

typedef struct node
{
    char word[LENGTH + 1];
    struct node *next;
}
node;

// Hash table
node *table[N];
