Matching and returning the list of matching words

[Anonymous]

HI Experts,

I hope you all are doing fine.

Recently, I posted a query regarding matching two lists and get list all the words which are matching to each other at some extend.

I was proposed the solution of fuzzy matching which I tried and accepted but when I used it on large datasets, It didnt work, It gave me very uneven results. 

For example- It gave a matching like

Hong Kong         Kung Hin

which does not make any sense.

My requirement is to obtain a solution as below

The image above is a problem

The image above is the solution required.

The data will be quite large as compared to the examples shared.

If you could suggest some solutions, It would be great. 

Best Regards,

Hi, @Anonymous 

Have you manually adjusted the similarity threshold of fuzzy matching?
