You mean identical? Seems like OP likely got inspired by your page :)
Since yours hold a lot more uncommon words (by virtue of simply having many more words) a feature, if you are in the mood for updating, could be to sort by word frequency along with alphabetical sorting.
yours lacks #B00B1E though.
Nice, hexwords only has 1000 words, compared to your 3500
Lots of the 2,500 don't seem very recognisable, possibly from another language?
Fesses is from French, for instance.
But common in informal English as a shortening of confesses.
I've only seen that as 'fess up'
In my head, it's a conjugation of "fess", which is a shortening of "confess". (Until I thought of it that way I was thinking "I've never seen this before", despite the word being in my vocabulary.)
Feature idea for you and OP: add the visual swatch of color which the hex color represents. Makes it much more meaningful
