I noticed there's a few cases where a th sound puns with a t sound. For example, you put the OUGHT in ROTHMEYER. Intentional due to loose matching? Uncertainty in pronunciations? Or is this a bug where the θ phoneme is represented as the digraph th?

I just did an index of match, so the t from th could have matched. It was quick and dirty, but it’s just for fun, so please forgive those

I like it! I started making a similar kind of page before as a brainstorming challenge: "noun is like a noun".

2 people could sit in front of the screen, and the first person to guess how the nouns are similar would win the point.

I'd also like to make a pun dictionary of similar-sounding words in English & Chinese, using the data I already gathered for Pingtype.
