RegexRhyme

Find words in the Dutch wordlist from OpenTaal that end with a given regular expression.

This repository contains the deceptively simple Bash one-liner that I use every year to write my Sinterklaasgedichten. It works on Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux.

How to use

Just drop the files from this repository anywhere in your PATH and you will be able to use the rr command. Here are some examples:

rr aas               # words that rhyme with Sinterklaas
rr [^o]ol            # words that rhyme with oliebol
rr '(o|eau)'         # words that rhyme with kado/cadeau
rr '[^o](ei|ij)[td]' # words that rhyme with bloementapijt

By default the output will be piped to less for easy viewing, but feel free to redirect anywhere else. For example, this is how to redirect the output to the clipboard:

rr aas | clip.exe    # Windows
rr aas | pbcopy      # macOS
rr aas | xclip       # GNU/Linux
