Why Play?

Many years ago, I translated a giant list of 84,000 English words into 9 other languages. I was 17 and naïve thinking I could use this for sentence translations. The resulting dataset wasn’t completely useless, however. By joining on the translation results and using fuzzy matching I could do all sorts of odd things – like find similar words.

Tell your friends!

Or dont! Seriously, we don't care...

SoundsLike (Metaphone)

This form takes a single word locates other words in the database that sound similar according to the Metaphone alogrithm. Feel free to add a % sign to the beginning and/or end of the word to match wildcards.
