Quick hack to look for Fiasco strategies

fiasco.py

import sys

ls = []

while True:
    ln = sys.stdin.readline()
    if not ln:
        break
    ls.append(ln.strip().lower())

print len(ls)

map = {}

for pos in range(8):
    for wd in ls:
        temp = wd[:pos] + '-' + wd[pos+1:]
        if temp not in map:
            map[temp] = []
        map[temp].append(wd)

temps = map.keys()
temps.sort(key = lambda temp: -len(map[temp]))

for temp in temps[:20]:
    print map[temp]
