Calculated Words
Because this might be important to have one day, here is a list of all words from the Unix Dictionary that can be expressed on an upside-down calculator display:Substitutions used: O == 0 I == 1 Z == 2 E == 3 H == 4 S == 5 - == 6 L == 7 B == 8 G == 9 Translated words: BE -> 38 BEE -> 338 BEEBE -> 38338 BEES -> 5338 BEG -> 938 BEGS -> 5938 BEIGE -> 39138 BELIE -> 31738 BELIES -> 531738 BELIZE -> 321738 BELL -> 7738 BELLE -> 37738 BELLES -> 537738 BELLIES -> 5317738 BELLS -> 57738 BESIEGE -> 3931538 BESS -> 5538 BESSEL -> 735538 BESSIE -> 315538 BIB -> 818 BIBLE -> 37818 BIBLES -> 537818 BIBS -> 5818 BIG -> 918 BIGGS -> 59918 BILBO -> 08718 BILE -> 3718 BILGE -> 39718 BILGES -> 539718 BILL -> 7718 BILLIE -> 317718 BILLS -> 57718 BLESS -> 55378 BLISS -> 55178 BLOB -> 8078 BLOBS -> 58078 BOB -> 808 BOBBIE -> 318808 BOBS -> 5808 BOG -> 908 BOGGLE -> 379908 BOGGLES -> 5379908 BOGS -> 5908 BOIL -> 7108 BOILS -> 57108 BOIS -> 5108 BOISE -> 35108 BOLL -> 7708 BOLSHOI -> 1045708 BOO -> 008 BOOB -> 8008 BOOBOO -> 008008 BOOS -> 5008 BOOZE -> 32008 BOSE -> 3508 BOSS -> 5508 BOSSES -> 535508 EBB -> 883 EBBS -> 5883 EEL -> 733 EELS -> 5733 EGG -> 993 EGGS -> 5993 EGGSHELL -> 77345993 EGO -> 093 EGOS -> 5093 ELI -> 173 ELIGIBLE -> 37819173 ELLIE -> 31773 ELLIS -> 51773 ELOISE -> 351073 ELSE -> 3573 ELSIE -> 31573 GEESE -> 35339 GEL -> 739 GELS -> 5739 GIBBS -> 58819 GIG -> 919 GIGGLE -> 379919 GIGGLES -> 5379919 GIL -> 719 GILES -> 53719 GILL -> 7719 GILLS -> 57719 GLEE -> 3379 GLEES -> 53379 GLOBE -> 38079 GLOBES -> 538079 GLOSS -> 55079 GLOSSES -> 5355079 GO -> 09 GOBBLE -> 378809 GOBBLES -> 5378809 GOBI -> 1809 GOES -> 5309 GOGGLES -> 5379909 GOGH -> 4909 GOOSE -> 35009 GOSH -> 4509 HE -> 34 HEBE -> 3834 HEEL -> 7334 HEELS -> 57334 HEGEL -> 73934 HELL -> 7734 HELLISH -> 4517734 HELLO -> 07734 HELLS -> 57734 HESS -> 5534 HESSE -> 35534 HI -> 14 HIGH -> 4914 HILL -> 7714 HILLEL -> 737714 HILLS -> 57714 HIS -> 514 HISS -> 5514 HISSES -> 535514 HOBBES -> 538804 HOBBIES -> 5318804 HOBBLE -> 378804 HOBBLES -> 5378804 HOBBS -> 58804 HOE -> 304 HOES -> 5304 HOG -> 904 HOGS -> 5904 HOLE -> 3704 HOLES -> 53704 HOLIES -> 531704 HOSE -> 3504 HOSES -> 53504 IBIS -> 5181 IGLOO -> 00791 ILL -> 771 ILLS -> 5771 IO -> 01 IS -> 51 ISIS -> 5151 ISLE -> 3751 ISLES -> 53751 LEE -> 337 LEES -> 5337 LEG -> 937 LEGIBLE -> 3781937 LEGS -> 5937 LEHIGH -> 491437 LEIGH -> 49137 LEO -> 037 LESLIE -> 317537 LESS -> 5537 LIBEL -> 73817 LIE -> 317 LIEGE -> 39317 LIES -> 5317 LILIES -> 531717 LISE -> 3517 LISS -> 5517 LIZ -> 217 LIZZIE -> 312217 LOBBIES -> 5318807 LOBE -> 3807 LOBES -> 53807 LOEB -> 8307 LOGO -> 0907 LOGS -> 5907 LOIS -> 5107 LOOSE -> 35007 LOOSES -> 535007 LOS -> 507 LOSE -> 3507 LOSES -> 53507 LOSS -> 5507 LOSSES -> 535507 OBESE -> 35380 OBLIGE -> 391780 OBLIGES -> 5391780 OBOE -> 3080 OH -> 40 OHIO -> 0140 OIL -> 710 OILS -> 5710 OLEG -> 9370 OOZE -> 3200 OSLO -> 0750 OZ -> 20 OZZIE -> 31220 SEE -> 335 SEES -> 5335 SEIZE -> 32135 SEIZES -> 532135 SELL -> 7735 SELLS -> 57735 SHE -> 345 SHELL -> 77345 SHELLS -> 577345 SHIES -> 53145 SHILL -> 77145 SHILOH -> 407145 SHOE -> 3045 SHOES -> 53045 SIEGE -> 39315 SIEGEL -> 739315 SIEGES -> 539315 SIGH -> 4915 SIGHS -> 54915 SILL -> 7715 SILLS -> 57715 SILO -> 0715 SIZE -> 3215 SIZES -> 53215 SIZZLE -> 372215 SLEIGH -> 491375 SLEIGHS -> 5491375 SLOB -> 8075 SO -> 05 SOB -> 805 SOBS -> 5805 SOIL -> 7105 SOILS -> 57105 SOL -> 705 SOLE -> 3705 SOLES -> 53705 SOLO -> 0705 SOLOS -> 50705 ZEISS -> 55132 ZOE -> 302 ZOO -> 002 ZOOS -> 5002
