EFF has a new wordlist which can be used for things like this. It focuses on phonetic and spelling differences across each word so that this doesn't happen, plus it prevents words from "duplicating" when you combine them (ie the two words `in put` and `input` being the same).

- r00fus 9y agoThis is awesome. I had no idea my EFF money was doing great things like this in addition to fighting for net freedom :)
- StavrosK 9y agoThat's fantastic. My only complaint is that none of the lists' lengths are a power of two, but that's easily fixed by truncating one.
- rspeer 9y agoNice! As I started reading about it, I idly wondered if they talked to Marc Brysbaert, who is very serious about researching which words people know. And the answer is yes, they did.
