I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that

    hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.

    Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?

    Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)

    R-code

    library(ngram)

tmonths = c("january", "february", "march",
           "april", "may", "june", "july",
           "august", "september", "october",
           "november", "december")

zzz = lapply(tmonths, function(mon){
  ng = ngram::ngram_asweka(paste(unlist(strsplit(mon, split="")), collapse=" "), min=3, max=nchar(mon))
  return(gsub(" ", "", ng))
})
res = sort(table(unlist(zzz)))
res[res > 1]

    This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:

      ary   uar  uary   emb  embe ember   mbe  mber   ber 
    2     2     2     3     3     3     3     3     4

    As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"

    Using this I propose the following graph

    Thanks for saving me time, my head was already spinning on the previous comment but you made it stop.
