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.

helpish showing 5-letter words containing "sha"

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+C to quit.

Words come from words_alpha.txt, a comprehensive list that includes inflected forms (plurals, conjugations, comparatives), not just dictionary head-words.
