So having learnt from the other posts I get down to...

a=Hash.new([''])
ARGF.read.upcase.scan(/\w+/){|m|

   z = m.tr( 'A-Z',
             '22233344455566677778889999').split('').sort.uniq.size

   i=a[z]
   if (j=i[0].size) < n = m.size
     a[z]=[m]
   elsif j == n
     i << m
   end
}
a.keys.sort.each{|k| puts "#{k}\n\t#{a[k].sort.uniq.join("\n\t")}\n"}

From this principle, all of life and physics may be deduced.
