don't worry - this is a perfect excuse to avoid doing any *real* work - like documentation, testing, ...

but may I ask what other approach you have in mind (in a few words) ?

Nothing else that has properly coalesced into "an idea" yet - just wild thoughts .....

build a regex, use that to filter the sentence list to only those which have at least one matching word, then apply the above algorithm

replace each (word in the ref list) by a matching symbol throughout the sentence list, then use filter to remove non matching sentences (e.g.

 put 0  into count
 repeat for each item W in myReference
    add 1 to count
    replace W by ":"&count in mySentences
 end repeat
 filter mySentences by "*:*:*"

(this would perhaps be worth pursuing if the ref list is usually small - at 30 words, I doubt it has much chance)

I'm sure there are others .... but even these two are kind of long shots.

And after that, there's always a large glass of 25-year malt and a soak in the hot tub to come up with more ideas .... :-)
