Does anyone here know a good website / program for word pattern searches?
I mean, by example, when I enter: abbcd
I should get:
goosh
leesh
peeps
ollie
etc.

I have a site like this in Dutch, but that isn't really helpful most of the time. I've been searching alot on google, but don't know the right terms to search for... I figured maybe one of you has such a site inside his favorites :)

well, I have one, but I think there was a challenge where you were expected to find such a website ... or was it another challenge site?
Can I answer to this question?

As a little help for you:
1. google is your friend
2. such things are called 'anagrams'

anagrams?
it's just a substitution.
a tool like scbsolvr will do the trick.

Scortile: I think some people didn't understand your question.

As alt3rn4tiv3 said, scbsolvr could do it, but it doesn't match the word against a dictionary, it uses n-gram frequencies and for short texts it isn't useful .

The best way could be coding your own program, I did that for solving some challenges. You only need to give a pattern and a dictionary file and make the program print the words that match the pattern.

Maybe there's any website that implements this, but i don't know. If you find one, please let us know.

Wow, what alot of reactions in such a short time :)
Kinda funny alt3rn4tiv3 and paipai are that good in cryptography (they both solved alot I mean), but can't decipher my question :p I meant what Phas said, and yes, I will code a program myself. It's just, it takes some more time when I code.. There are always lots of misstakes in my coding and the layout will blind you of uglyness.
Anyways, since I'm convinced now that's the only way, I will. Thx for your help!

I guess the pattern ABBCD should not match peeps.
peeps should match ABBAC.
I also thought about writing such a programm.

should be easy enough with a wordlist, and some bash

i'm no regex master, so i'll just use other bash functionality to script this

pattern="abba"
while read word;
do
     [[ "${#pattern}" = "${#word}" ]]  || continue;
     for i in $(seq 0 $((${#word})) );
      do
            char=${word:$i:1}
            patternchar=${pattern:$i:1}
            for j in $(seq 0 $((${#word})) );
            do
                    [[ "${pattern:$j:1}" = "$patternchar" ]] &&
                    [[ "${word:$j:1}" != "$char" ]] && continue 3
            done
     done
     echo $word
done < wordlistfilename


now i didn't test this so it's probably wrong :D

patches welcome


edit: heh i tested it and it works :)

$ ./filter.sh abbcd < words.txt
abbey
abbot
Accra
added
adder
Addis
affix
.........
peeps
....


and if you want to follow the opinion of gizmore you have to add
[[ "${pattern:$j:1}" != "$patternchar" ]] && [[ "${word:$j:1}" = "$char" ]] && continue 3
in the inner loop
