Class

RiTa

Name

alliterations
Description Finds alliterations by comparing the phonemes of the input string to those of each word in the lexicon via a minimum-edit-distance metric
Example 
RiTa.alliterations("cat"); 
RiTa.alliterations("cat", {limit: 10});
RiTa.alliterations("cat", { maxLength: 4, numSyllables: 1 });
Parameters

{boolean} options.silent:
if true, do not output logs and warnings to console while running

{boolean} options.shuffle:
if true, iterate over lexicon in random order
Returns
