    Macro to pull same consonant words

    Find attached data on a1 , going at 34172 words

    Expected results on B and C

    Looking for words with same consonants but different vowel combination
    It should also be able to pull words with two vowels , 5 same consonants ,
    example BANTERS BARNETS BARTONS BRETONS BRISANT BRUNETS BUNTERS BURNETS BURSTEN BURTONS

    The macro should also be able to handle 8 letter words , attached is 7 letter word length

    No, actually you are constantly asking for someone else to do it for you. You never show any willingness to try to adapt what you have been shown previously.

    Please remember that those who help here do so voluntarily and of their own goodwill. This is not a paid 'service': members will help you to reach solutions, but they do expect a willingness on your part to meet them halfway. If you do not have the time or the inclination to do this, then you really should be posting your requests in the commercial services section, where you can offer recompense to someone for doing what you have no desire to do yourself.

    They are people around in here don't mind tackling the case
    Yes, and you are relying on their goodwill to get your jobs done for you - again and again and again.

    Re: Macro to pull same consonant words

    I have come up with an idea that should in achieving what i need

    I have got alphgram of the words in this format , assuming
    they are on A1 and B1 need formula on C to pull consonants and D pull
    vowels , thus would expect NTR AND AEIO for and for ETAERIO i would
    expect TR and AEIIO , formula to point on cell b to pull the needful ,
    then i will use sort A to Z and use Highlight Duplicate Values using CF

    NOTAIRE AEINORT
    OTARINE AEINORT
    ETAERIO AEEIORT
    ANEROID ADEINOR
    AILERON AEILNOR
    ALERION AEILNOR

    Re: Macro to pull same consonant words

    I shall say, that I had some time ago similar experience with you makinmomb :-(

    It was "do all for me" approach

    And not trying to learn, but asking again and again the same or VERY similar question.
    Best Regards,

    Kaper
