This resource links ayahs that share wording. It is useful for exploring recurring phrases and
expressions across the Quran, and for building “where else does this appear?” features. The data is
exported as JSON and SQLite.

match_words_range

100, and in 27:30 the match runs from word 5 to word 8.
