Some of the similar words are

Panacea | Panache Minute | Minuet Prodigy | Prodigal Extant | Extent Loath | Loathe

i.e when Panacea is expanded Panache must be suggested and vice versa.

or also words which have similar Anagram (An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.)

Describe the solution you'd like

A similar word can be queried from the existing set of words by using the Levenshtein distance algorithm or only based on the spelling if the spelling is 90% or more similar.
