I have an unusual hobby. I collect related words of equal length. This page lists my collection of related words that are all the same length and connected to one another in some way. This particular fascination with related words of equal length originated as a result of computer programming. While developing software, I often need to name variables, functions and other elements in a way that reflect the concepts I am working with. Occasionally, I end up choosing names for related elements that are the same length, which becomes visually striking when these names align neatly in the text editor.

Each group of words is presented in monospaced font so that the equal length of the words in each group is visually evident. Blank spaces separate the groups.

In case you are wondering why I would need words like `beverage` or `doughnut` in computer programming, I use them in my little game called Nerd Quiz to display a doughnut or beverage symbol (view source) depending on the points scored.
