in reply to Challenge: Mystery Word Puzzle

I already know the answer to the example in this post, so don't feel it necessary to reply with it.

I've got a list of 71 words which appear to qualify for the posted example?

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.

    BrowserUk,
    Is one of them 'house'? If not, it may have been because I made a minor error correction while you were working on the problem. The code had the correct relationships of letters in common (2 having 2, and 4 having 3), but the commentary had all 6 having only 2 (copy/paste error).

      In that case, I have 8 words that match.

        BrowserUk,
        Ok - let's have them. It would appear that my assumptions about the puzzle were likely wrong then. I assumed only 1 set of letters could be formed from the hints though multiple words might be able to be formed from the permutations of those letters. In this case, I can't think of 8 ways to arrange the letters 'h' 'o' 'u' 's' 'e' and not get non-sensical words.

        Cheers - L~R
