 Puzzle - Two Six-Letter Words
Two six-letter words, one English and one French, have precisely the same meaning and are directly descended from the same Latin root; yet they have not a single letter in common.
No letter that appears in the English word can be found in the French one, and vice versa.
The last three words of the second sentence are redundant; and although the two mystery words are indeed derived from a single Latin root, that root itself derives directly from Greek, and I suppose I should have said so.

 Writer's Block - Writing Tips - Capitalization in Titles
But if a two-letter word is acting as a noun, pronoun, adjective, or adverb, it must be capitalized.
Some writers lowercase all two-letter words, probably by extrapolation from the short prepositions "of", "to", "up", and so on, and the word "to" in infinitives.
To some writers, the fact that one word resembles another is enough reason to treat those words equally when it comes to capitalization in a title.

 CPS 100 Program 2: Word Ladders
The input to {\em word ladder} is two words of the same length, the output is a sequence of words in which consecutive words share all but one letter, starting with the first word and ending with the last.
This will involve comparing all the words when they are read in and somehow keeping track of which words are one letter apart.
Preprocess the words when they are read in so that the only ``good'' words are tried as one-letter-off matches, not every word is tried.

 The Case of Martin Heidegger - Part Four - Two Letters and Two Replies Letter One - By the internationally respected Alex Steiner
As part of my effort to uncover the meaning of your letter, I would suggest that your qualification of the word “true” with “supposed” and your bracketing of the word indicates that you reject the notion of objective truth.
In other words, I am supposedly deriving the National Socialist content of the category of “authenticity” from the mere fact that the author of this cogitation was a Nazi.
On April 3-5, 2000 the WSWS published a three-part series entitled, “The Case of Martin Heidegger, Philosopher and Nazi.” Two letters from readers were received criticizing the articles, and replies are given by the author of the series, Alex Steiner.

 "Word Lengths and Authorship," by Eric Johnson
If similarity of word lengths of texts can indicate their authorship, and if the greatest differences occur in four-letter words, comparisons of percentages of four-letter words might be a decisive test of the methodology.
Mendenhall thought that counts of the number of words of various lengths (one-letter words, two-letter words, and so on) could be graphed to produce a consistent fingerprint for a writer -- as long as the samples were sufficiently large (Williams, 27-39).
Figure 1 shows a comparison of the word lengths of two novels by Nathaniel Hawthorne: The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables.

When I was a kid, four-letter words were taboo in our house and uttering them invariably resulted in a frothy mouthful of soap at the hands of my mother.
