Percolation of words on the hypercubic lattice with one-dimensional long-range interactions

We investigate the problem of percolation of words in a random environment. To each vertex, we independently assign a letter $0$ or $1$ according to Bernoulli r.v.'s with parameter $p$. The environment is the resulting graph obtained from an independent long-range bond percolation configuration on ${\mathbb{Z}}^{d-1}\times \mathbb{Z}$, $d\ge 3$, where each edge parallel to ${\mathbb{Z}}^{d-1}$ has length one and is open with probability $ϵ$, while edges of length $n$ parallel to $\mathbb{Z}$ are open with probability $p_n$. We prove that if the sum of $p_n$ diverges, then for any $ϵ$ and $p$, there is a $K$ such that all words are seen from the origin with probability close to $1$, even if all connections with length larger than $K$ are suppressed.
