usstates

Find words which have no letters in common with a US state.

Ohio is the only US state which shares no letters with the word mackerel.

This project is my solution to finding other words which share this quality.

Installation

$ npm install -g usstates

Use

$ usstates ohio
abasement
abatement
abbeys
...

usstates writes to stdout so you can pipe it into other utils.

$ usstates ohio | grep ^ma | less

Spaces will be stripped from state names automatically. The following commands are equivalent:

usstates is case insensitive. The following commands are equivalent:
