suggestWordsfunction
The common words nearest to a text that may have a typo in it, the exact ones first and then those one slip away, the commonest first.
kamii suggests かみ, tabemsu suggests 食べます and にほんこ suggests 日本語; a text of kanji suggests nothing, because a kanji is not
a slip away from another. It covers the 26,000 common words, from one table of about 800 kB gzipped that it fetches once (a second
in unfiltered mode), and it is for a lookup that found nothing, not for every lookup.
