Children's Printed Word Database

Orthographic Neighbours

Definition: Orthographic neighbours are generated by taking a word, and replacing each letter in turn with every other letter.  The result is then compared to the rest of the database, and hence the neighbours are based on the database only.  Proper nouns are excluded from the generation of neighbours (where possible).

This search takes a word or list of words provided by the user and generates a list of their orthographic neighbours.

Please enter your word(s).  The list must have one word on each line; please avoid additional spaces.  

NB Words can be pasted in from other applications.  To generate body orthographic neighbours, please see the instructions on the advanced search page.
