That's not even remotely close to a definition of what you mean. What about:
@"mary had a little lamb, a little naughty lamb she had"
vs
@"mary had a little lamb, a little fella of a lamb she had for sure"
?
Or:
@"mary had a little lamb, a naughty little lamb she had"
vs
@"mary had a big lamb, a little fella of a lamb she had for sure"
There is no simple definition of "the difference between two strings", and I don't think it's a basic need at all.
