recurse-words

find words that have other words in them that when you remove the inner word what's left is still a word

and do other stuff too like evaluate the modular phonetic structure of English like

from recurse_words import Graph_Recurser, Graph
recurser = Graph_Recurser('phonetic_common')
recurser.recurse_all_words(
    min_include_word = 3,
    min_test_word    = 2,
    min_clipped_word = 2
)
Graph(recurser).render_graph('img').save('/some/path.png')

installation

From pypi:

pip install recurse-words

From github:

git clone https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/recurse-words
pip install ./recurse-words
# or
poetry install ./recurse-words

usage

Point the recurser at a file that has a list of words, for example this one, and let 'er rip

from recurse_words import Recurser

recurser = Recurser('path/to/some/words.txt')
recurser.recurse_all_words()
recurser.save('word_trees.pck')

# see word trees by a few metrics
# max tree depth
recurser.by_depth
# total number of leaves
recurser.by_leaves
# total number of edges
recurser.by_density

Draw network graphs!

recurser.draw_graph('some_word', '/output/directory')

Auto-download different corpuses!

recurser = Recurser(corpus='english')
recurser = Recurser(corpus='phonetic')
