Common word patterns

[meomeow]

Hi guys, I have a competition tomorrow for cryptograms, and I would like to open this topic for common word patterns (i.e. 12134 - every; 123142 - people)

Please help out!

[Eureka]

Good luck to you tomorrow, meomeow. Might I suggest you look at this site for word patterns: https://design215.com/toolbox/wordpattern.php#results.

[LLapp]

Meomeow, good luck tomorrow!

There are two forum threads devoted to specific word patterns: EVERY and THAT.

[Eureka]

Hey, meomeow, let us know how you did if you ever get back here!

[MadDoctor]

You asked. Some of these list have been cleaned up and organized, but many are still a jumble. I believe, I have had all of these in one puzzle or another.

[Eureka]

Wow, that's a great list, MadDoctor. Thanks for sharing!

[Fudi]

It is great, MadDoctor ... I thought of a few more, I think, while I was reading yours:

5-letter: TOOTh, wHicH

7-letter: PoPular, ToTaLLY, finaLLY

10-letter: SUCCeSSfUl

(My apologies if they were included by you and I just didn't see them when I scanned for them ... I did try to look pretty carefuLLy ... but I don't TrusT myself.)

[MadDoctor]

I was positive wHicH was on my list, but I don't see it either. I use it so often, I guess I never saw a reason to add it.

How many other people keep lists like this? I put a few words into a text file on my desktop so it would be handy. I kept adding to it when I noticed something new I would like to remember. As it got longer, I sorted it by length. Lately, I've sorted sections by letter pattern. As you can see, I haven't finished.

[pub4]

really smart post.

[maradnu]

I have a key word list that I found on some site years ago, with patterns and over 100,000 words - some questionable.

[CryptoB]

I have an insane list of letter patterns and a few quotes. If anyone cares to see it I'll post.

[Eureka]

Thanks, CryptoB! If you are able to share it, I'm sure we'd all enjoy seeing it. I have not put together any sort of list, but no doubt it would be very helpful to do so. I'm still waiting for the day (in the distant future) when I can look at a puzzle and immediately see words jumping out at me. Practice, practice, practice!

[CryptoB]

Eureka - this is hardly user friendly. On the puzzles that give me trouble I find a word that fits a pattern and then do a search on the doc for matches. Also included are suggestions for no letter matches by length of word and combination patterns for long words, as well as a few puzzles that are difficult.

Wow, CryptoB, that is a very impressive list. Those longer words are especially helpful. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I just added another one to my list.
