So it's just "Algorithmic word similarity as a percentage", pick an algorithm. Maybe something like existing task [[Levenshtein distance]] or maybe existing task [[Jaro distance]] or existing task [[Soundex]]. ( Actually I would be intrigued by someone trying to use [[Soundex]] as a '''spelling''' similarity function. 🤔 )
The reference implementation uses a Hamming distance, and fair enough, Rosettacode doesn't have a Hamming distance task, possibly because it is absolute crap as a similarity function in general. The Sorenson-Dice algorithm looks interesting at least but it's only mentioned in passing and <strike>no</strike> only the alternate Raku entry has done it
My point is the task is poorly named, poorly specced and is mostly a duplicate of several existing tasks. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 00:29, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
