I know that spell-checkers use this trick:

    mother        ->        ehmort

    
I.e. They replace chars using some order to get some canonic form
Then it is more easy get what this work looks like.

It seems you can also try to use it.


On the other hand, MANY HOURS is not MANY MONTH...

So may be faster just use dirty force :)
