::Hi Paddy3118. Thanks for your interest in the AppleScript solution and in my comments. The second sort in the AppleScript code sorts the words by length as well as grouping them by the letters they contain, so the rest is just working through the list from longest to shortest. It would be easy to adapt the last part to return co-longest deranged pairs.

::Your suggestion for what to do about three or more words seems a good one. Now that you've put the idea into my head, I may try implementing it tomorrow to see if it turns up any interestingly different results. :)
