What I will say is that over the course of the thread you've all identified a number of words which pass rule #3. Here are a few:

Find out what links all of those words, and you'll immediately understand the rule, and you'll be able to create posts that pass rule #3 that don't use any of those words.

@ c also equals m

That's what I figured... that if it was those (or any particular words) it would be too arbitrary... so it's just about trying to work out what your function does with an incoming word, any word.

You'll also kick yourselves once you realize what it is.

Yes I know... I predicted that earlier It will have been staring us in the face all along

Okay... looks like Emjay has this figured out more than I do because my thoughts weren't going in the direction they should have been. I'm not good at figuring out code or whatever this is... so I'm gonna let someone else take it from here unless I can actually understand any of this. If not, I'm back to square one.

we know that vowels are interchangeable, but I don't see that we can add or subtract them. I'll denote the number of vowels with a numeral instead of listing them. So:

1 chtw
2 blms
2 cnppr
2 gkmn
2 dhmst
3 httw
3 cdk
3 clrtv
4 lnrtsv
4 prsv

We've got the following relationships:

m = c = p = lnt = sn
lt = s
kd = vrtl = vrs
kg = ccr

grrrr

No no... don't think like that... I'm probably wrong... probably over-complicating things as I tend to do

fixed that for you.  I'm looking at individual letters and things, like their positions on the keyboard, the number of strokes it takes to make them.  It doesn't appear possible for the link between words to be semantic, because letters are being rearranged and vowels are being swapped out and such, so it might be something as wacky as "number of vowels equals number of enclosed loops in the consonants" or something like that
