I did test those rules prior to posting.  They do work as you had
described - with the severe limitations that I have described.

This is obvious: "canape" and "cunope" differ in the 4th character.  The
rules that I posted only work for lengths up to 3.  They are not meant
for actual use - they merely serve to demonstrate that wordlist rules
are, in theory, capable of doing what you have described, although
terribly inefficiently - up to the point where they're unusable for the
task in practice.

My advice to you was to use Perl or re-consider what you're doing, not
to use the rules that I posted.
