Inherently with a (proper) hashing algorithm, the value and placement of characters in the hash means next-to-nothing in terms of the actual original text. For example:
password = 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8
passwurd = 1966e583daff0fce5630d5de44f303f0e77f77940f02c7d648defadc31059c7b
Notice they're very different results, even though the original text only has 1 character difference.
