What is the shortest string of letters, starting from the start of a word, that can uniquely identify a word?
For example: A-P-E-L uniquely identifies the word "apelike" (definition: like an ape)
My shortest string is O-X-E for oxen
Note that plurals and different tense words count as different words.
