Snapsism Pairs
A word is said to be a snapsism of another word if it fits the following criteria:
1. it contains the same number of letters as the other word;
2. it does not have any of the same letters in the same position as the other word;
3. each letter of the word can be swapped into the other word, one at a time, so that other words are produced.
eg. MAD is a snapsism of BET, with the three resulting words being:
Met
bAt
beD
However, MAT is not a snapsism of BET as both words have "t" as the third letter.
A snapsism pair is formed when two words are snapsisms of each other.
eg. BET and PIG are a snapsism pair, producing the words:
Pet
bIt
beG
Big
pEg
piT
