How similar are the words "Hello" and "Hallo"? By editing 1 of the 5 letters ("e" to "a") you get the same string. That's a similarity of 80% according to the Levenshtein Edit Distance. Use this and other scientific string similarity methods to quickly match or validate strings approximately.

FuzzyString function library enables you to

  • automatically fix user typos
  • build a robust text search (e.g., for tech trees, unlocks or shop system)
  • filter in-game chat
