usstates

Find words which have no letters in common with a US state.

Ohio is the only US state which shares no letters with the word mackerel.

This project is my solution to finding other words which share this quality.

Installation

$ npm install -g usstates

Use

$ usstates ohio
>> abasement
>> abatement
>> abbeys
...

usstates writes to stdout so you can pipe it into other utils.

$ usstates ohio | grep ^ma | less

State names with spaces

Spaces will be stripped from state names automatically. The folling commands are equivalent:

$ usstates 'new york'
$ usstates new york
$ usstates newyork

Case

usstates is case insensitive. The folling commands are equivalent:

$ usstates new york
$ usstates New york
$ usstates new York
$ usstates New York
$ usstates NEW YORK
...etc
