Some Thoughts I found ... | Comment 2 of 3 |
My program found (considering y as a vowel):
pgnttrp pgnttrp
substrstrata bstrstr
tsktsks tsktsks

But I think the first two entries are dictionary errors.
So the only one I found was tsktsks, which I think also is not really a word.

----------
import json
f = open('  path to my file  ')
data = json.load(f)
words = data.keys()

vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u','y']
for w in words:
    leng = len(w)
    if leng < 7:
        continue
    for pos in range(0, leng-6):
        substring = w[pos:pos+7]
        if any(x in substring for x in vowels ):
            continue
        print(w, substring)
