Let $N$ be a word length supplied by the Hales-Jewett theorem for alphabet $[m]$ and two colors. For $n\ge 2N$, embed $[m{]}^N$ into $[m{]}^n$ by the coordinate duplication for combinatorial lines mapPull back any two-color finite coloring to this word space. The Hales-Jewett theorem gives a monochromatic combinatorial line with nonempty active set $S$. Its image is a combinatorial line whose active set isand hence has size $2|S|$, a positive even integer. ThereforeThe empty set's presence in the family causes no difficulty: the line just constructed has at least two active coordinates.
