Or easier yet:

\ef [ function_description [ line_number ] ]
This command fetches and edits the definition of the named
function, in the form of a CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION command. Editing
is done in the same way as for \edit. After the editor exits, the
updated command waits in the query buffer; type semicolon or \g to send
it, or \r to cancel.
The target function can be specified by name alone, or by name and
arguments, for example foo(integer, text). The argument types must be
given if there is more than one function of the same name.
If no function is specified, a blank CREATE FUNCTION template is
presented for editing.
If a line number is specified, psql will position the cursor on the
specified line of the function body. (Note that the function body
typically does not begin on the first line of the file.)

So:
\ef words_skip_game 85
