Here's a challenge for those of you who like to search. I am looking for a way on line to come up with an assortment of english words which ALL have the same number of letters. Not a body of text, just a way to list random words which all can be defined and all have for example, 20 letters, or 18 letters, etc. I'm drawing a blank....any ideas?
Thanks

I don't work enough crosswords to have thought of that.

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for....
http://aaron.doosh.net/lexicon/
It's a Wordox Lexicon and lists words alphabetically by number of letters (I absolutely Wordox )

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it." - A Few Good Men

prof - this is another good program - it's a free download used to study for scrabble and wordox...
It's called Lexpert, and you can customize your word lists.

Good, wgm!
This is an anagram converter that will limit the number of letters...for example, if you want five letter words, use max 5, min.5 etc.

Dave's crossword idea is good.
This is an interesting old program...Back to DOS?
