    Re: similar by one consonant

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean? At first I thought it was true if there was only one letter different in the words however the example you gave the 4th and 6th letters are different? Can you give a more detailed breakdown with more examples please?

    Re: similar by one consonant

    and what about DIAGONAL? should that also be highlighted on Row1? or create a new row?

    Re: similar by one consonant

    will there be patterns like this ??

    ANNEALED
    BALADINE
    BARROWS
    DEDALIAN
    DENTALIA
    DIACONAL
    DIADONAL
    DIAGONAL
    MARROWS
    NAILBEAD
    NAILHEAD

    NARROWS
    RAILHEAD
    SIALIDAN

    If so, then very heavy processing as all 44k words have to be repeatedly examied.

    Re: similar by one consonant

    Also the thread says "similar by 1 consonant" does that mean that
    READ
    REED

    and
    FRIED
    FREED

    Do not match?

    Re: similar by one consonant

    Thanks,

    Hopefully one final question, are all words the same length? if not, does it also match if the word has been pluralised?

    eg
    DIAGONAL
    DIAGONALS

    Re: similar by one consonant

    ok, so I have a working code here however hopefully this is my last question:

    If we take the list John gave earlier:
    ANNEALED
    BALADINE
    BARROWS
    DEDALIAN
    DENTALIA
    DIACONAL
    DIADONAL
    DIAGONAL
    MARROWS
    NAILBEAD
    NAILHEAD
    NARROWS
    RAILHEAD
    SIALIDAN

    This will among others match
    BARROWS MARROWS NARROWS
    when it does the BARROWS row,

    the code then moves on and at some stage starts comparing MARROWS with the words after it. Do you want it to produce the following?
    MARROWS NARROWS
    or should it be
    MARROWS NARROWS BARROWS
    or frankly should it not do anything for these 3 words as all 3 were already highlighted when it did BARROWS?

    Re: similar by one consonant

    I would need the file to check out the error: ZIP it

    Dim arr(1 To 1000, 1 To 50)

    [C1].Resize(1000, 20).ClearContents

    maybe change 1000 to 10000 ?

    I leave you another variant in which you are informed of the row in which the similar words are found.

    Analyze the word STEERING (row 2567 of the results): it has 11 similar words.
