/watsky-words

Haskell tool for finding words with overlapping syllables

Primary LanguageHaskell

Watsky Words

Watsky has released a trio of albums with overlapping names:

COM PLA INT PLA CEM ENT INT ENT ION

This raises the question: what other such words can we find?

Usage

Build using ghc --make watsky and run with ./watsky sylLength numWords fileName, where sylLength is the number of letter per matching syllable, numWords is the number of words to find, and fileName is the name of a file which contains a list of words, one per line.

Results

The best new discovery in English so far is

NEW SPA PER SPA CET IME PER IME TER

For other parameters than (3,3) there are either many results making it uninteresting or no results at all.
