Re: for x,y in word1, word2 ?

My first thought is that you should be looking at implementations of
Hamming Distance.  If you are actually looking for something like
SOUNDEX you might also want to look at the double metaphor algorithm,
which is significantly harder to implement but provides better
matching and is less susceptible to differences based on name origins.
