List English words by length — handy for writing Pilish.
Project description
helpish
A terminal app that lists every English word of a given length — handy for writing Pilish, where each word's length encodes a digit of π.
Usage
Run it without installing using uvx:
uvx helpish
Or install from PyPI and run the helpish command:
pip install helpish
helpish
Run it directly from a checkout with uv:
uv run helpish
- Enter a number to see all words of that length.
- Use the Contains field to filter by substring.
- Results are sorted by frequency (most common first).
- Press
Ctrl+Cto quit.
Words come from words_alpha.txt, a comprehensive list that includes inflected forms (plurals, conjugations, comparatives), not just dictionary head-words.
