Looks like this will nearly do the trick, but not quite. The main problem with this is that, contrary to the details above, this will include "accumbering" in the "accumb:" line. Hence, we need to start from the longest master words, and remove words from the wordlist as they match. We can also get a slight speedup by using index instead of a regex.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
open(LIST, "wordlist.txt") or die "$!";
my @wordlist = map { chomp; $_ } <LIST>;
close LIST;
open(MSTR, "master.txt")   or die "$!";
my @master = sort {length $b <=> length $a}
             map { chomp; $_ } <MSTR>;
close MSTR;

foreach my $word ( @master ) {
  my @matches;
  for (@wordlist) {
    next unless defined $_ and index($_, $word) >= 0;
    push @matches, $_;
    $_ = undef;
  }
  $word = [$word, join(", ",@matches)];
}
print map {"$_->[0]: $_->[1].\n"} sort {$a->[0] cmp $b->[0]} @master;
