- Task
Using the dictionary unixdict.txt, change one letter in a word, and if the changed word occurs in the dictionary,
then display the original word and the changed word here (on this page).
The length of any word shown should have a length > 11.
- Note
- A copy of the specific unixdict.txt linked to should be used for consistency of results.
- Words > 11 are required, ie of 12 characters or more.
