Misprint lists

Quinapalus Home :: Things Cruciverbal :: Misprint lists

Misprints: pairs of words differing in one letter

Each entry in the following table leads to a list of words which are a single misprint away from another word. For example, clicking on the lq link will take you to a list of words containing an l where the l can be replaced by a q to yield another word. In this example, the list is:

eluant equant
eluate equate
eluates equates
laddish qaddish
lat qat
li qi
loran qoran
lum qum
sluit squit

Many of the lists are rather longer than this one: the largest individual list (ds) is 163 kbytes and contains 8412 entries. A couple are empty.

The list linked to at the end of each row is the union of the lists in that row: so, for example, the list q_ is a list of all words where a q is misprinted as any other letter. Likewise, the list linked to at the bottom of each column is the union of the lists in that column: for example, the list _x is a list of all words where any letter is misprinted as an x.
