Words |  ru |
The program searches for words in one or two dictionaries using one of the search options. English dictionary contains about 134,000 words, Russian about 445,000 words. In addition one can view dictionary statistics, frequency of word length (descend), two nearby characters distribution, letters frequency. You can also run a partial version of the program online, where the search is implemented via cgi and php.
Search anagrams
Anagram is a word, the result of rearranging the letters of it, produce a another word. For example, calligraphy - graphically. The longest anagrams are:
| pathophysiological physiopathological 18 characters |
| crystallographica crystalographical 17 characters |
| microphotographic photomicrographic 17 characters |
| autoradiographic radioautographic 16 characters |
| micromillimeters micromillimetres 16 characters |
Search pangrams
Pangrams are words which has as many as possible different alphabet characters. For example word superacknowledgement has 16 different characters.
Search using pattern
Search using pattern. Words include all of the letters or part of the letters or consist of only letters from pattern. Search options
- words contain all of the pattern letters - words have all of the letters from pattern and any number of additional letters.
- words contain part of the pattern letters - words contain part of the letters from pattern and no one another characters.
- words contain part of the pattern letters (ordered) - words contain a part of letters from the template and no other letters, and the order of letters in the found word must be the same as in the template. For example, if you remove some of the letters in the pattern of lamebrained, you can get the word ameba
- words consist of only pattern letters - any letter from word should be one of the pattern letter.
Search palindromes
Search palindromes. Palindrome is a word, that reads the same backwards as forwards. For example rotator.
| reviver 7 characters |
| rotator 7 characters |
| hallah 6 characters |
| hannah 6 characters |
| mallam 6 characters |
Search words for crossword
Search words for crossword. For template m***m program finds the words madam, modem etc.
Search regular expressions
Search regular expressions with given number of matches. Regular expression is a sequence of symbols and characters expressing a string or pattern to be searched for within a longer piece of text. Regular expressions are very powerful tool for searching. For more information you can make internet search with request string regular expressions of perl. Examples
- By string we$ program finds the words which ends with we.
- (.)(.*\1){6,} - search any character which occurence seven or more times. Found word stresslessness (letter s appears 7 times).
- (..)(.*\1){2,} - search any two characters which occurence three or more times. Found word confrontational (letters on appears 3 times).
Search modifications of words.
There are three types of modifications: replaces, inserts and substrings. Also it's possible to set several modifications.
REPLACES. Syntax string1>string2.
String ab>cde means replace all occurences of ab to cde. String k>0 means replace all characters k to empty string.
INSERTS/CONCATENATIONS. Syntax +index,string.
String +0,b add character b to the beginning (before first symbol of word). String +2,we inserts we before third symbol of word. String +L,y add y to the end. String +L-1,s inserts s before last symbol of word.
SUBSTRINGS. Syntax -index,length.
String -0,3 leaves first three chars of word. String -4,3 leaves three chars from fifth char. If second parameter is not set (eg. -3), then left all chars till the end (from fourth symbol). String -L-5,3 leaves three letters from fifth char from the end of the word. String -L-5 leaves last five chars. Other string examples -4,L-5 -L-4,L-5.
Not all of replaces change word. If option every modification changes word is on, then every single operation should change word.
Search chains of words
Search chains of words such as only one character changes for every step. Consider two words woman and chick. There is a chain woman women woven coven coves cores corns coins chins chink chick. Program searches all chains with shortest length.
Search characters sequence
Search characters sequence. For sequence mata program finds next words matador, razzmatazz and so on.
Searching for letter group splits
Splitting a group of letters into two or three words. First all splits of a group of letters into two words are searched, then all splits into three words are searched. For example, the letter group anticodonpall can be split into the two words capital and london or into the three words all, pant, conoid.
Search simple sequence words
Search two sets of words such that some number of last characters for any word of first set are first characters of any word from second set. Consider two sets. The first one consists of two words animated and exanimated. The second one also has two words animated and animatedly. Last eight letters of any word animated or exanimated, agree with first eight letters of words animated and animatedly.
Note. Word animated has eight characters and first eight characters are the same with last eight characters. So any word is a sequence of itself. If there are no words found which starts from animated or ended by animated then set is not consider as trivial.
Search double sequence words
Search two sets of words such that some number of last characters for any word of first set are first characters of any word from second set and vice versa. Consider two sets. The first one consists of two words bleeder and blender. The second one also has two words derisible and derivable. Last three letters of any word bleeder or blender, agree with first three letters of words derisible and derivable. And at the same time last three characters of derisible and derisible are first characters of any word bleeder or blender.
Note. As in the case of searching for sequence words trivial sets are excluded.
Search full word sequences
Full sequence words are pair of words. If read the first word backward one got the second word and vice versa. For example, kramer - remark. Palindromes are ignored.
| desserts stressed |
| lattimer remittal |
| deliver reviled |
| dessert tressed |
| animal lamina |
Search keyboard words (one row)
All characters of the word should be on one horizontal or vertical keyboard row.
| peppertree 10 characters |

| perpetuity 10 characters |
| proprietor 10 characters |

Search keyboard words (row and diagonals)
All neighbour characters of the word should be adjacent keys (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) on keyboard.
| redressed 9 characters |
| redresser 9 characters |
| redresses 9 characters |
| assessed 8 characters |
| assesses 8 characters |

Dictionary statistics
Dictionary statistics includes
- characters frequency at the beginning of the word
- characters frequency at the end of the word
- characters frequency at any place of the word
- characters frequency on keyboard
- total amount of words
- average word length
- the longest word
Frequency of word length (descend)
Program shows frequency of words with given length
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It seems that word length is normal distribution random variable. On the pictures below one can see word length frequency data and normal distribution approximation.
| English dictionary. Expected value - 8.9546. Dispersion - 8.2675. |
|
| Russian dictionary. Expected value - 9.6727. Dispersion - 9.2424. |

Two nearby characters distribution
Program shows two nearby characters distribution in the words of dictionary, sorted in descending order.
Letters frequency
If one sorts letter by frequency in descending order and create graph then it seems that logarithm of frequency will be a linear function.
