I would love to add something like this, but it would require a dictionary that knew something about the words in it. I have been using just a list of words with no further information about them.
I think the next version (or the one right after it) will include syllabic/stress/phoneme information. Your suggestion would require a database that linked words relationally. I think it's a great idea, but it will probably have to wait a while.
Thanks,

: the possible mutations we have are:
: word added,
: word dropped,
: word moved.
: But how about a word being changed to a related word, e.g. the plural, another tense (for verbs), another form (for adjectives e.g. quick, quicken, quickly, quicker, quickest), the opposite (e.g. soulless/soulful), or a thesaurus hit? Might help thing to make sense more quickly.
