1. remove s from the end of the word
2. replace re with er
3. replace ou with o (eg favour vs favor, armour vs armor)
If you sent me the word list I could try to identify other common spelling variations. Alternatively, I'm happy to write a list of every possible spelling variation that I can think of
(I'm Shadowkirby13 on the bga-developers Discord server, by the way)
I can send you the word list in English, but there are dozens of different languages implementer and it would be impossible to catch all the possible exceptions.
I believe that the solution by quietmint should be implemented.
