Yep, I understand. What you do is that for each entry string you compute the hash key (which is fast, as it is only a sum of chars), and you select the key which is the nearest to your dynamic key. You can do that on the fly. Somehow, if you want to compare only strings of the same length, you have to rely on a two level dictionary, or make your key special (e.g. the upper byte contains the string length, the lower bytes are the hash key).
