A **word counter** is a free online tool that tells you exactly how many words and characters your text contains. As you type or paste, it counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines, and estimates reading time, speaking time, page count, and keyword density — all in real time. It is useful for essays, articles, social media posts, meta descriptions, cover letters, and any writing with a length limit. ## How to use this word counter 1. Type directly into the box above, or paste text you already have. 2. Every count updates instantly — there is no button to press. 3. Read the live totals, the extra stats (pages, lines, unique words), the **character-limit** panel, and the **top-words** (keyword density) panel. 4. Use **Clear** to start over or **Copy text** to grab your text again. A word is anything between spaces or line breaks: hyphenated words, contractions, numbers, and emoji each count as one. A dash, bullet, or other mark standing on its own (as in “yes — no”) is not counted as a word. Sentences follow the same rules as the [sentence counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/), so “Dr.”, “U.S.” and “3.5” do not end a sentence. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the word counter count words?** It counts a word as any sequence of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Numbers, hyphenated words, and contractions each count as one word; a dash or bullet standing on its own is not counted. The count updates instantly as you type or paste text. **Is my text sent to a server?** No. All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is never stored or transmitted, so it is completely private. **How is reading time calculated?** Reading time is your word count divided by a reading speed — 200 words per minute by default, a widely used average for adults reading English silently. You can switch to slow (150), fast (250), or skimming (300) words per minute. Speaking time works the same way, at 130 words per minute by default. **How many words is a 5-minute speech?** At a presentation pace of about 130 words per minute, a 5-minute speech is roughly 650 words. Slow speakers (100 wpm) need about 500 words and fast, conversational speakers (160 wpm) about 800. Set the speaking speed in the tool to see the time for your own text. **How does the readability checker work?** It scores your text with six standard formulas — Flesch reading ease, Flesch–Kincaid grade level, Gunning Fog, SMOG, Coleman–Liau, and the Automated Readability Index — and averages the grade levels into one result. Syllables are counted with a 50,000-word pronouncing dictionary, which makes the scores more accurate than spelling-based estimates. Scores are most reliable for 100 words or more. **What is a good Flesch reading ease score?** For general audiences, aim for 60–70 (plain English), which most 13- to 15-year-olds can read easily. Scores of 80 and above are very easy; scores under 30 are best suited to academic or specialist readers. **Can it find passive voice and long sentences?** Yes. The Writing check tab highlights sentences of 20+ and 30+ words, passive voice, adverbs, filler words such as 'very' and 'really', and wordy phrases with simpler alternatives like 'utilize' → 'use'. Hover or tap a highlight to see why it was flagged. **Does it count characters with or without spaces?** Both. The tool shows characters including spaces and characters excluding spaces separately, so you can use whichever your assignment, form, or platform requires. **Can I use the word counter for essays and social media limits?** Yes. It is useful for essay and assignment word limits, meta descriptions, and social media character limits such as posts and bios. The tool shows a live character-limits panel for X (Twitter), Instagram, SMS, SEO titles, and meta descriptions so you can see how many characters you have left. **How many pages is my word count?** As a rough guide, one single-spaced page holds about 500 words and one double-spaced page about 250 words, at 12pt in a standard font. This tool shows an approximate page count based on 500 words per page. Actual pages depend on font, size, spacing, and margins. **What is keyword density and how is it measured?** Keyword density is how often a word appears relative to the total word count. The tool lists your most-used words (ignoring common filler words like 'the' and 'and') with their count and percentage, and the Word frequency tab shows every word or 2- and 3-word phrase, which you can download as a CSV file. **How do I count words in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?** Languages such as Chinese and Japanese do not separate words with spaces, so for these scripts the character count is usually the meaningful measure rather than the word count. Use the 'Characters' figure when counting CJK text. **Does it count words in a PDF or Google Doc?** Yes — copy the text from your PDF, Google Doc, or Word document and paste it into the box. The counts update instantly. Because everything runs in your browser, the pasted content is never uploaded anywhere. ## Data sources Syllable counts for the readability scores come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.

A **Morse code translator** converts ordinary text into Morse code and decodes Morse code back into readable text. Morse code represents every letter, number, and punctuation mark as a pattern of short signals called **dots** (`.`) and long signals called **dashes** (`-`). This free online translator converts instantly, plays the result as **sound**, flashes it as a **light**, and includes the full Morse code alphabet chart below. ## How to use this Morse code translator 1. Choose a direction: **Text → Morse** to encode, or **Morse → Text** to decode. 2. Type or paste into the box — the result updates as you type. 3. Tap a **quick phrase** (SOS, HELP, I LOVE YOU…) to load it instantly. 4. Press **Play sound** to hear the Morse code and watch the light flash. Drag the **Speed** slider to change the pace (words per minute). 5. Use **Swap** to reverse the translation, or **Copy** to save the result. ### How to write Morse code for decoding When decoding, separate each letter with a single space and each word with a slash (`/`) or three or more spaces. For example, `.... . .-.. .-.. ---` decodes to “hello”. Dots and dashes copied from other sites often come as other symbols, such as `•`, `·`, `—` or `_`. The decoder reads those too, keeps your line breaks, and shows any code that is not a Morse letter in square brackets, so you can spot a missing space. Accented letters are sent as plain letters (é as E); characters with no Morse code, such as emoji or #, are left out and listed under the result. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I translate text to Morse code?** Type or paste your text in the input box. The Morse code appears instantly below it. Each letter is separated by a space and each word by a slash (/), following international Morse code convention. **Can it decode Morse code back into text?** Yes. Switch the direction to Morse-to-text and enter Morse code using dots (.) and dashes (-), with a space between letters and a slash (/) or multiple spaces between words. The decoded text appears instantly. **Can I hear the Morse code as sound?** Yes. Press the Play button to hear the Morse code as standard audio beeps generated in your browser. The timing follows Morse standards, where a dash is three times the length of a dot. **Which characters are supported?** The translator supports the 26 letters A–Z, the digits 0–9, and common punctuation such as period, comma, question mark, and slash, using the International Morse Code standard. Letters are case-insensitive, and accented letters are sent as plain letters (é as E). Prosigns such as or are sent as one signal; characters with no Morse code, such as emoji, are left out and listed under the result. **What do the dots and dashes mean?** Morse code represents each character as a sequence of short signals (dots, written '.') and long signals (dashes, written '-'). For example, the letter E is a single dot and the letter T is a single dash. SOS is ... --- ... **What is SOS in Morse code?** SOS is ... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots, sent as one continuous signal with no letter gaps. It was chosen as the international distress signal because the pattern is simple and unmistakable, not because the letters stand for words. **What is the Morse code alphabet?** The Morse code alphabet assigns a unique pattern of dots and dashes to each letter A–Z. For example A is .-, B is -..., and E is a single dot. The full alphabet, numbers 0–9, and punctuation are listed in the chart on this page. **How do you write numbers in Morse code?** Each digit 0–9 uses five symbols. They follow a clear pattern: 1 is .----, 2 is ..---, and so on up to 5 (.....), then dashes take over: 6 is -...., up to 0 which is -----. See the numbers section of the chart. **What is 'I love you' in Morse code?** 'I love you' in Morse code is .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..- — the letter I, then the word LOVE, then YOU, with a slash marking each word gap. You can load it instantly with the 'I LOVE YOU' quick phrase button. ## Related tools - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [NATO Phonetic Alphabet](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/): Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - [Braille Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/): Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. --- # Roman Numeral Converter > Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/?n=1999 - `n`: a number (1-3,999,999) or a Roman numeral for the Convert box; the direction is auto-detected (for example `1999`) - `style`: letter style: upper (default), lower or unicode (for example `lower`) - `date`: a date as YYYY-MM-DD; opens the Date tab with that date in Roman numerals (year 1-3999) (for example `2026-02-14`) - `order`: date order on the Date tab: mdy (default), dmy or ymd (for example `dmy`) - `mode`: which tab opens: convert (default), date, calc or practice (for example `date`) ## What is a Roman numeral converter? A **Roman numeral converter** turns ordinary numbers into Roman numerals and Roman numerals back into numbers. This one does it in a single box — type `2026` or `MMXXVI` and it works out which way to convert. It also shows the place-value breakdown, writes big numbers with the bar on top (up to 3,999,999), turns any date into Roman numerals for tattoos, adds and multiplies Roman numerals, and lets you practice with a quick quiz. ## How to use the converter - **Convert:** type a number (like 1990) or a Roman numeral (like MCMXC).

Your best score is saved on your device. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I convert a number to Roman numerals?** Type the number into the Convert box and the Roman numeral appears instantly — 2026 becomes MMXXVI. Type a Roman numeral instead and it converts back to a number. The breakdown under the result shows how it's built: MM (2000) + XX (20) + VI (6). **How do Roman numerals work?** Seven letters have fixed values: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. You add them left to right (VI = 6). When a smaller value comes before a larger one, you subtract it (IV = 4, IX = 9). I, X, C, and M repeat at most three times in a row. **What is 4 in Roman numerals?** 4 is IV (5 minus 1), and 9 is IX (10 minus 1). The same pattern gives 40 = XL, 90 = XC, 400 = CD, and 900 = CM. Clock faces often show 4 as IIII by tradition, but IV is the standard form. **What is 2026 in Roman numerals?** 2026 is MMXXVI: MM (2000) + XX (20) + VI (6). 2025 is MMXXV and 2000 is MM. **How do I write a date in Roman numerals for a tattoo?** Open the Date tab, enter the day, month, and year, and choose the order — month · day · year (US) or day · month · year. 14 February 2026 becomes II · XIV · MMXXVI or XIV · II · MMXXVI. Preview it in tattoo fonts, then copy it or download a PNG for your artist. **How do you write 1 million in Roman numerals?** One million is M with a bar over it (M̅). A bar, called a vinculum, multiplies a numeral by 1,000 — so V̅ is 5,000 and X̅ is 10,000. The converter writes numbers up to 3,999,999 this way. **Which Roman numerals multiply to 35?** V and VII, because 5 × 7 = 35. Write them as two separate numerals. XXXV is also 35 on its own, and an extra I (1) doesn't change the product. **Why is there no zero in Roman numerals?** The Roman system was made for counting and recording amounts, so it never needed a symbol for zero — or for negative numbers. Zero reached European mathematics much later, through the Hindu–Arabic numerals we use today. ## Related tools - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [NATO Phonetic Alphabet](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/): Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - [Braille Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/): Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. --- # Binary Translator > Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/?text=hello - `text`: text to translate to binary, or binary to decode (auto-detected) (for example `hello`) - `mode`: force a direction: encode (text to binary), decode (binary to text) or auto (default) (for example `encode`) - `encoding`: utf8 (default) or codepoint (for example `utf8`) - `sep`: how the bytes are separated: space (default), none, comma or newline (for example `space`) ## What is a binary translator? A **binary translator** converts text into **binary code** — the 0s and 1s computers use — and binary code back into readable text. Every letter, number, and symbol is stored as a number, and binary is the base-2 way of writing those numbers. This translator works in both directions, detects what you pasted automatically, and handles every language and emoji. ## How to use the binary translator 1. Type or paste into the box. **Auto-detect** recognizes binary (only 0s and 1s) and decodes it to text; anything else is translated to binary. 2. Choose how to **separate the bytes** — spaces (the usual way), nothing, commas, or new lines. When decoding, both spaced and unspaced binary work. 3. Tap **Swap** to turn the result around, or **Copy** to save it. 4. Check the **character-by-character** table to see each letter’s code point, decimal, hex, and binary value. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I translate binary to text?** Paste the binary into the box — with or without spaces. Auto-detect recognizes it and decodes it to text instantly. Each group of 8 bits is one byte; the translator reads the bytes as UTF-8, so English and every other language come out correctly. **How do I convert text to binary?** Type your text and the binary code appears immediately. Choose whether to separate the bytes with spaces, nothing, commas, or new lines, then tap Copy. **Does it work with accents, other languages, and emoji?** Yes. The translator uses UTF-8, the standard encoding of the web: English letters take one byte each, while letters like é or ñ, other alphabets, and emoji take two to four bytes — and they decode back perfectly. **How do you read binary code by hand?** Split it into groups of 8 bits, add up the place values (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1) wherever there's a 1, and look the number up in the ASCII table: 01001000 = 72 = H. **What is 'I love you' in binary?** 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101. Type any phrase to get its binary code. **What's the difference between binary text and binary numbers?** Translating text gives one byte per character. Converting a number is base conversion (42 = 101010) — use the Binary Converter for decimal, hex, and octal. **Is anything uploaded?** No. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [NATO Phonetic Alphabet](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/): Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - [Braille Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/): Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. --- # Binary Converter > Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/?n=255 - `n`: the number to convert (decimal unless base is given; a 0b, 0x or 0o prefix sets the base by itself; a leading minus is allowed) (for example `255`) - `base`: base that n is written in: 2, 8, 10 or 16 (also binary, octal, decimal, hex) (for example `10`) - `bits`: width for the two's complement panel: 8, 16, 32 or 64 (for example `8`) ## How to use the binary converter A **binary converter** changes a number from one number system to another: binary (base 2), decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), and octal (base 8). Type a number into any box — **binary**, **decimal**, **hexadecimal**, or **octal** — and the other three update instantly. Prefixes like `0b`, `0x`, and `0o`, spaces, and underscores are all fine. Numbers of any size stay exact, from a single bit to 64-bit values and beyond. Below the boxes you’ll find the **two’s complement** form for 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits and the full working for each conversion. ## Binary to decimal To convert **binary to decimal**, write the place values over the bits — 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 … from right to left — and add the place values wherever there’s a 1. Example: `101101` = 32 + 8 + 4 + 1 = **45**. The converter shows this sum for every number you type. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I convert binary to decimal?** Type the binary number in the Binary box and the decimal value appears instantly. By hand: add the place values (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 …) wherever there's a 1 — 101101 = 32 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 45. The converter shows this sum for you. **How do I convert decimal to binary?** Type the number in the Decimal box. By hand, divide by 2 repeatedly and read the remainders from bottom to top — the converter shows the full division table. **How do I convert binary to hex?** Split the bits into groups of four from the right and replace each group with a hex digit: 1010 1111 = AF. The converter does it instantly in both directions. **What is two's complement?** It's how computers store negative numbers. Flip all the bits of the positive number and add 1: −5 in 8 bits is 11111011. Choose 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits to see any value. **How large a number can it convert?** Any size — the converter uses exact arithmetic, so 64-bit values and much larger numbers are converted without rounding. **Is anything uploaded?** No. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [NATO Phonetic Alphabet](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/): Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - [Braille Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/): Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. --- # Binary Calculator > Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/?a=1011&op=add&b=110 - `a`: first number, written in the chosen base (binary by default); a leading minus is allowed (for example `1011`) - `op`: operation: add, sub, mul, div, and, or, xor, not, neg (two's complement), shl, shr (for example `add`) - `b`: second number (or the number of places for a shift), written in the chosen base; not used by not and neg (for example `110`) - `base`: base the numbers are written in: 2 (default), 8, 10 or 16 (also binary, octal, decimal, hex) (for example `2`) - `bits`: bit width for two's complement, NOT and overflow: 8 (default), 16, 32 or 64 (for example `8`) ## How to use the binary calculator This **binary calculator** adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides binary numbers, and it also does the bitwise operations AND, OR, XOR and NOT, two’s complement, and left and right shifts. Under every answer it shows the working step by step, the way you would write it on paper, so you can check homework or learn the method rather than just copy a result. 1. **Choose how you type the numbers.** Binary is the default. Switch to decimal, hex or octal and the numbers already in the boxes are converted for you, so nothing is lost. 2. **Type the first number, pick an operation, type the second.** Spaces and underscores are ignored (`1011 0110` is fine), a `0b` or `0x` prefix is accepted, and a minus sign makes a number negative. NOT and two’s complement use only the first number. 3. **Pick a bit width** of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits. It decides how a negative answer is written in two’s complement, how many bits NOT flips, and whether an answer overflows. 4. **Read the answer** in binary, decimal, hexadecimal and octal, each with a Copy button, plus the exact bit pattern a register of your chosen width would hold. 5. **Follow the steps.** Addition shows the carry row, subtraction the borrows and the two’s complement method, multiplication the shifted rows, and division a long division table, with a decimal check at the end. The calculator works with whole numbers of any size. It uses exact integer arithmetic, so even a 64-bit number multiplied by itself comes out right to the last digit: 18446744073709551615 squared is 340282366920938463426481119284349108225. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere. ## Binary addition Binary addition works exactly like the column addition you learned at school, except that each column can only hold 0 or 1. As soon as a column adds up to 2, you write 0 and carry 1 to the next column, just as you carry at 10 in decimal. There are only four cases to remember: | Sum | Result in binary | Write | Carry | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 0 + 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 + 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | 1 + 1 | 10 | 0 | 1 | | 1 + 1 + 1 | 11 | 1 | 1 | ### Worked example: 1011 + 110 Line the numbers up on the right and add one column at a time, starting with the ones column. The carries are written above the next column: 1. Column 1: 1 + 0 = 1, so write 1. 2. Column 2: 1 + 1 = 10, so write 0 and carry 1. 3. Column 3: 0 + 1 + 1 = 10, so write 0 and carry 1. 4. Column 4: 1 + 0 + 1 = 10, so write 0 and carry 1. 5. The last carry has no column to go into, so it becomes a new 1 at the front. A run of 1s makes a chain of carries. Adding 1 to 1111 carries all the way along and gives `10000`: 15 + 1 = 16. That is why `1111…1` plus one is always a 1 followed by zeros. ### Overflow in binary addition On paper a sum can always grow by one digit. Inside a computer, numbers live in a fixed number of bits, and an answer that needs more bits than that **overflows**. With 8 bits, 11001000 (200) + 1100100 (100) should be 100101100 (300), which needs 9 bits. An 8-bit register keeps only the lowest 8 bits, `00101100`, and reads it as 44. The calculator always gives the true answer, and the “In 8 bits” box shows what the register would hold and says when an answer overflows. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you add binary numbers?** Add column by column from the right: 0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 10 (write 0, carry 1) and 1 + 1 + 1 = 11 (write 1, carry 1). For example, 1011 + 110 = 10001, which is 11 + 6 = 17. The calculator draws the carry row and explains every column. **What is 1 + 1 in binary?** 1 + 1 = 10 in binary, which is two. You write 0 in that column and carry 1 to the next one. Three ones, 1 + 1 + 1, make 11 (three). **How do you subtract binary numbers?** Subtract column by column from the right. When you need 0 − 1, borrow from the next column to the left, which is worth 2 in this column, so 2 − 1 = 1. The calculator marks every borrow and also shows the two's complement method computers use. **How do you multiply binary numbers?** Use shift and add: for every 1 in the second number, write the first number shifted left by that position, write zeros for every 0, then add the rows. 1011 × 101 = 110111 (11 × 5 = 55). The calculator shows all the rows. **How do you divide binary numbers?** Use long division: bring down one bit at a time, and if the divisor fits, write 1 in the quotient and subtract; otherwise write 0. The calculator gives the quotient and the remainder, for example 11011 ÷ 101 = 101 remainder 10 (27 ÷ 5 = 5 remainder 2). **What is two's complement?** It is how computers store negative numbers in a fixed number of bits: flip every bit of the positive number and add 1. In 8 bits, −5 is 11111011. Pick 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits and the calculator shows any negative answer in two's complement. **What is overflow in binary?** Overflow happens when an answer needs more bits than the register has. 200 + 100 = 300 needs 9 bits, so an 8-bit register keeps only 00101100 (44). The calculator gives the true answer and warns when it overflows the bit width you chose. **What do AND, OR, XOR and NOT do?** They work bit by bit: AND gives 1 where both bits are 1, OR where either is 1, and XOR where they differ. NOT flips every bit (the one's complement). Shifts move all bits left, which doubles the number, or right, which halves it. **Can I enter decimal, hex or octal numbers?** Yes. Switch the input to decimal, hex or octal and the numbers you typed are converted automatically. Every answer is shown in binary, decimal, hex and octal, each with a copy button. **How large can the numbers be?** Any size. The calculator uses exact whole-number arithmetic, so 64-bit values and far larger numbers come out right to the last digit. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. ## Related tools - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Hex to Text](https://linguaholic.com/tools/hex-to-text/): Decode hex to text and convert text to hex, with auto-detect, UTF-8, ASCII or Latin-1, any hex format, invalid bytes highlighted and every byte in decimal and binary. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. --- # NATO Phonetic Alphabet > Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/?text=SOS - `text`: text to spell out in code words (or code words to turn back into text when mode=decode) (for example `Linguaholic`) - `mode`: which tab opens: spell (default), decode or practice (for example `decode`) - `alphabet`: spelling alphabet for the Spell tab: nato (default), police or wwii (for example `police`) ## What is the NATO phonetic alphabet? The **NATO phonetic alphabet** gives every letter a distinct code word — A is **Alpha**, B is **Bravo**, C is **Charlie** — so letters can be spelled clearly over radio or phone, even through noise, accents, or a bad connection. It’s also called the **military alphabet**, the ICAO alphabet, or officially the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet. Pilots, air traffic controllers, ships, armed forces, emergency services, and call centers all use it. ## How to use this tool - **Spell:** type a name, email, or booking code and see it letter by letter in code words, with pronunciations. Switch between the **NATO**, **police**, and **WWII** alphabets. Tap **Listen** to hear it read out word by word, at slow, normal, or fast speed, and copy it as code words, a letter list, or pronunciations. - **Decode:** paste code words (“Sierra Oscar Sierra”) to turn them back into text. It understands all three alphabets and spellings like Alfa, Juliet, and Niner. - **Practice:** four quick drills — letter to code word, code word to letter, spelling real words, and listening. The spelling and listening words come from our English dictionary, so they’re different every time. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the NATO phonetic alphabet?** A spelling alphabet that gives each letter a clear code word — A is Alpha, B is Bravo, C is Charlie — so letters are understood over radio or phone despite noise or accents. Officially it's the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, used by NATO, aviation, shipping, and the military. **Is the NATO alphabet the same as the military alphabet?** Yes. The 'military alphabet' is the NATO/ICAO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…). Armed forces, aviation, and shipping all use this same standard. **How do I spell my name in the phonetic alphabet?** Type your name into the Spell tab and it's spelled out letter by letter — Sam becomes Sierra Alpha Mike. Tap Listen to hear it word by word, or copy it as a letter list. **What is the police phonetic alphabet?** Many US police departments, including the LAPD, use the APCO alphabet: A is Adam, B is Boy, C is Charles, D is David, and so on. Choose Police in the tool to spell in it; the page has a side-by-side chart with NATO. **What was the old military alphabet?** In World War II the US used the Joint Army/Navy alphabet: Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox… It was replaced by today's NATO alphabet (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie) in 1956. **How are numbers pronounced in the phonetic alphabet?** Digit by digit, with a few special forms: 3 is 'tree', 4 is 'fower', 5 is 'fife', and 9 is 'niner'. Round numbers use 'hundred' and 'thousand', and a decimal point is 'decimal'. **Is there a printable phonetic alphabet chart?** Yes. Tap Print chart next to the chart and choose the NATO, police, or WWII alphabet for a clean one-page version. **Is this the same as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)?** No. This is a spelling alphabet (code words for letters). The International Phonetic Alphabet is a different system linguists use to write speech sounds. ## Related tools - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [Braille Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/): Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. --- # Imposter Game Word Generator > Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Word games & fun), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/?category=animals&n=10 - `category`: comma-separated category keys (animals, food, places, jobs, sports, home, school, clothes, transport, nature, hobbies, celebrations, countries, landmarks, music, tech, fantasy, body, science, games, actions, funny, movies, abstract) (for example `animals`) - `n`: how many words: 1, 5, 10, 20 or 50 (for example `10`) - `hints`: 0 hides the imposter hint words (for example `0`) ## Words for the Imposter game The **Imposter game** needs one secret word per round: everyone gets it except the imposter, who has to bluff. This **imposter game word generator** picks that word for you from **3,087 hand-picked words in 24 categories**, and gives a related **hint word** you can hand the imposter instead of the real one. Choose categories, press **Generate**, and whisper or message the word to everyone except the imposter. Generate 10 or 20 at once to plan a whole evening, and copy the list. If you’d rather let a phone deal the cards, play the [Imposter Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/imposter-game/) — it picks the imposter secretly and works on one phone or everyone’s phone. ## How to run the game with the word generator 1. Pick a host who doesn’t play this round (or use the app to deal cards). 2. The host generates a word and secretly chooses the imposter — for example by folding paper slips. 3. Everyone except the imposter gets the word. The imposter gets nothing, the category, or the hint word. 4. Players give one-word clues in turn, discuss, and vote. The imposter can win by guessing the word. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the imposter game word generator work?** Pick the categories you want and press Generate. You get a random secret word with its category and a related hint word for the imposter. Generate 5, 10, or more at once to plan several rounds, and copy the list. Words you just saw are not repeated. **What is the hint word for?** In the hint version of the Imposter game, the imposter does not get the secret word but a loosely related word — for example cheese when the word is pizza. It gives the imposter a fair chance to blend in. You can hide the hints if you play without them. **What makes a good word for the Imposter game?** A good word is something everyone knows, with lots of possible one-word clues, but not so specific that one clue gives it away. Everyday things, places, jobs, and animals work best — like lighthouse, dentist, volcano, or popcorn. **How many words and categories are there?** More than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories: animals, food and drinks, places, jobs, sports, things at home, school, clothes, transport, nature and weather, hobbies, holidays and parties, countries and cities, famous landmarks, music, technology, fantasy and fairy tales, the body, science and space, games and toys, things people do, funny and silly, movies and TV, and hard mode (ideas and feelings). **What are funny or hard words for the imposter game?** Turn on Funny & silly for words like whoopee cushion, brain freeze, and dad joke. For a challenge, use Hard mode: abstract ideas such as nostalgia, déjà vu, procrastination, and karma are tricky to describe without giving them away — and easy for a clever imposter to bluff. **Which categories are best for kids?** Tap the Kids quick pick: animals, food, things at home, clothes, school, transport, nature, holidays, fantasy and fairy tales, the body, games and toys, and funny & silly. Every word in every category is family-friendly. **Can the app run the whole game for us?** Yes. The Linguaholic Imposter Game picks the imposter secretly and shows each player their card — pass one phone around or use everyone's phone with a game code — and includes a discussion timer. **Is it free?** Yes, completely free with no sign-up.

One player picks a secret word and draws a dash for each letter. The other player guesses one letter at a time: 1. If the letter is in the word, it’s written on every dash where it appears. 2. If it isn’t, one part of the hangman drawing is added — head, body, arms, and legs. 3. Guess the whole word before the drawing is finished to win. Complete the drawing first and you lose. In the classic game you get **6 wrong guesses**. On this page you can also choose 8 or 10 lives, which draws the gallows step by step first — kinder for younger players. ## How to play Hangman online here - **Any word** picks from more than 36,000 family-friendly dictionary words. Choose *Easy* (common, longer words), *Medium*, *Hard* (short words with rare letters), or *Expert* (less common words for word lovers). - **Categories** uses 48 themes with 2,160 hand-picked words — animals, Christmas, space, food, jobs, and more — so you always get a clue. - **Phrases** gives you 98 well-known sayings like “piece of cake”. - **2 players** lets one person type a secret word or phrase for the other to guess. Tap the letters or type them on your keyboard. Stuck? **Reveal a letter** costs one life. After each round you’ll see what the word means, and your wins, losses, and streak are counted. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play Hangman?** One player thinks of a word and draws a blank for each letter. The other player guesses letters one at a time. Correct letters are filled in; every wrong guess adds a part to the hangman drawing. Guess the whole word before the drawing is finished to win. On this page the computer picks the word — just tap letters or type them on your keyboard. **How many words are there?** More than 36,000 family-friendly English words from our dictionary, in four levels (easy, medium, hard, and expert), plus 48 themed categories with 2,160 hand-picked words and about 100 well-known phrases. Words don't repeat within a session until the pool runs out. **What are the hardest words in Hangman?** Short words with rare letters and few vowels are hardest, because most guesses miss: jazz, buzz, fuzz, jinx, lynx, rhythm, sphinx, quiz, fjord, zigzag, ivy, and jukebox are classic examples. Choose the Hard level to get words like these. **What are good words for Hangman?** For a fun, fair game choose words most players know, with a mix of common and uncommon letters — like giraffe, pumpkin, blanket, or volcano. For kids, pick longer everyday words, which are easier because each guess is more likely to hit. For a real challenge, pick short words with J, Q, X, Z, V, K, or Y. **Can two people play?** Yes. Choose 2 players: Player 1 types a secret word or phrase (hidden as they type) and an optional clue, then hands the device to Player 2 to guess. Take turns and compare scores. **How many lives do you get?** The classic game gives 6 wrong guesses — head, body, two arms, and two legs. For younger players you can choose 8 or 10 lives, which also draws the gallows step by step. **Is the game family-friendly?** Yes. Every word list is filtered to remove rude, violent, or grown-up words, so it's suitable for classrooms and kids. **Is it free?** Yes — free, no sign-up, and no app. It runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere; a reload keeps your round and score only in that browser tab. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

When time is up, take turns reading your answers aloud. 4. Score **1 point for every answer nobody else wrote**. If two players wrote the same answer, neither scores. Play more rounds — the player with the most points wins. ## Three ways to play online - **One screen** — put the letter, the list, and the timer on a TV, laptop, or tablet; everyone writes on paper. Keep score with the built-in scoreboard, and print answer sheets if you like. - **Everyone’s phone** — create a game code and share it. Every phone shows the same letter and categories, players type their answers (the game checks they start with the right letter), then score their own round. - **Category generator** — just need a list? Generate random categories for any word game, classroom activity, or icebreaker. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play the categories game?** Each round has a random letter and a list of categories. Start the timer and write one answer for each category that starts with the letter — for example B: Things in a kitchen → blender. When time is up, read your answers aloud: every answer nobody else wrote scores 1 point. Play several rounds; the most points wins. **Can we play on different phones?** Yes. Choose Everyone's phone and create a game code. Everyone opens this page, taps Join a game, and enters the code — every phone gets the same letter, categories, and timer each round, and players type their answers on their own phone. **How many categories are there?** More than 700 original categories in 10 packs: everyday life, food and drink, animals and nature, places and travel, movies/music/games, people and jobs, school and words, holidays and seasons, kids, and funny and creative ones. Categories don't repeat until you've played through the pool. **Which letters are left out?** By default the game skips Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z, because very few words start with them. You can turn this off in the settings. Letters don't repeat until every letter has been used. **Is there a random category generator?** Yes — choose Category generator to get 5 to 50 random categories from any packs, for word games, classroom activities, or icebreakers, with no repeats. **Is it good for kids and classrooms?** Yes. Tick Kid-friendly categories only for younger players, use the one-screen mode on a classroom display, and print answer sheets. It's great for vocabulary and spelling practice. **What is the categories game also called?** Versions of it are known as Stop, Stop the Bus, Name Place Animal Thing, Tutti Frutti, Stadt Land Fluss, Petit Bac, and Basta. **Is it free?** Yes — free with no sign-up and no app. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Never Have I Ever](https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/): Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - [Truth or Dare](https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/): Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. - [Would You Rather](https://linguaholic.com/games/would-you-rather/): Play Would You Rather online: more than 1,100 original, family-friendly questions in 26 categories — funny, hard, weird, for couples, teens, kids, the classroom, gaming, work, holidays and more — with group voting on one phone, or browse the full list. --- # Binary Game > Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/?mode=read&level=8 - `mode`: game mode: flip (flip the bits), read (read the binary), write (write the binary), learn (free play) (for example `read`) - `level`: number of bits 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8; level1 to level5; or easy (4 bits), medium (6), hard (8) (for example `8`) - `timed`: 1 turns on the 60-second challenge (for example `1`) ## How to play the binary game The **binary game** is a free number game for learning to read and write binary, the number system computers use. Each card is worth a power of two (1, 2, 4, 8 and so on), a card that is on counts as 1 and a card that is off counts as 0. Once you can add up the cards in your head, you can read any binary number. There are four ways to play: - **Flip the bits** (decimal to binary): a number appears, and you tap cards to turn them on until they add up to it. As soon as the total is right, the next number comes up. The running total under the cards turns red when you have gone too high. - **Read the binary** (binary to decimal): you see a binary number on the cards and type its value in ordinary numbers. - **Write the binary** (decimal to binary, typed): you see a number and type it in 0s and 1s. Leading zeros and spaces are fine, so `0101` and `101` both count for 5. - **Learn**: no target and no score. Flip any card and watch the binary, decimal and hex values change, or press +1 and −1 to count up and down and see how the bits roll over. ### Levels, streaks and the 60-second challenge There are 5 levels, from 4 bits to 8 bits (a full byte). Each level adds one card and doubles the range of numbers: | Level | Cards | Card values | Numbers | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Level 1 | 4 bits | 8 4 2 1 | 1 to 15 | | Level 2 | 5 bits | 16 8 4 2 1 | 1 to 31 | | Level 3 | 6 bits | 32 16 8 4 2 1 | 1 to 63 | | Level 4 | 7 bits | 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 | 1 to 127 | | Level 5 | 8 bits | 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 | 1 to 255 | In practice mode there is no clock: take your time, use **Hint** when you are stuck (it lights up the leftmost card that is wrong and says whether to turn it on or off) or **Skip** to see the answer. Your **streak** counts correct answers in a row, and your best streak for each mode and level is kept. Hints and skips reset the streak, so a long streak means you really know it. Check **60-second challenge** and press Start to race the clock: solve as many numbers as you can before time runs out. Your **best score** for each mode and level is saved, so you can try to beat your high score later. Scores and streaks are stored only in your own browser, never on our server, and clearing your browser data resets them. ### Keyboard shortcuts | Key | What it does | | --- | --- | | 1 to 8 | Flip the cards from the left (Flip the bits and Learn) | | H | Show a hint (Flip the bits) | | Esc | Turn all the cards off | | + and − | Count up and down by one (Learn) | | Enter | Check your typed answer, or start a timed round | ## How binary numbers work In everyday numbers each place is worth ten times the place to its right: ones, tens, hundreds. Binary uses only the digits 0 and 1, and each place is worth **twice** the place to its right. Those place values are the numbers on the cards. For one byte (8 bits) they are: | Bit position | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Power of 2 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | | Value | 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 | Each extra bit doubles how many numbers you can make. Four bits give the numbers 0 to 15, and eight bits give 0 to 255. A useful pattern: the biggest number with a given number of bits is always one less than the next card. All four cards on, `1111`, is 16 − 1 = 15. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play the binary game?** In Flip the bits, tap cards worth 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1 until they add up to the target number. In Read the binary you type the value of a binary number, and in Write the binary you type a number in 0s and 1s. Learn mode lets you flip cards freely. **What are the levels?** There are five: Level 1 uses 4 bits (numbers up to 15), then 5, 6 and 7 bits, and Level 5 uses a full byte of 8 bits (numbers up to 255). Each level adds one card and doubles the range. **How does the 60-second challenge work?** Check the 60-second challenge box and press Start, then solve as many numbers as you can before the clock runs out. Your best score for each mode and level is saved in your browser so you can try to beat it. **What is a streak?** Your streak counts correct answers in a row. A wrong answer, a hint or a skip resets it to zero, and your best streak for each mode and level is saved in practice mode. **How do you convert binary to decimal?** Add up the place values under every 1. For 10110101 that is 128 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 181. The game's cards show the place values so you can see the sum. **How do you convert decimal to binary?** Start with the biggest card that fits, take it away and repeat with what is left. For 77: 64 fits (13 left), then 8 (5 left), 4 (1 left) and 1, so 77 is 1001101. **Is the binary game good for kids and classrooms?** Yes. Level 1 uses only four cards, Learn mode shows place values and counting, and the game works on a projector, tablet or phone with no sign-up. The page has teaching tips for whole-class play. **Can I play with a keyboard?** Yes. Number keys 1 to 8 flip the cards from the left, H gives a hint, Esc clears the cards, + and − count in Learn mode, and Enter checks an answer or starts a timed round. **Are my scores saved?** Best scores and best streaks are saved in your own browser only. Nothing is sent to our server, and clearing your browser data resets them. ## Related tools - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. --- # Never Have I Ever > Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/?category=kids - `category`: comma-separated category keys: funny, friends, kids, teens, school, travel, food, juicy, adults, couples, internet, embarrassing, life (for example `kids`) ## How to play Never Have I Ever **Never Have I Ever** is a get-to-know-you party game. One player reads a statement that starts with “Never have I ever…”, and anyone who *has* done it admits it — usually with a story. It’s a favorite for parties, sleepovers, road trips, team building, and classroom icebreakers. 1. Everyone holds up five fingers (or ten for a longer game). 2. Read the statement on the card — for example, “Never have I ever missed a flight.” 3. Everyone who has done it puts one finger down. Ask for the story! 4. Tap **Next statement**. The last player with fingers left wins. On this page, open **Play the fingers game with a group**, add the players, and tap everyone who has done each thing — the game counts fingers and announces the winner. Playing alone? Answer **I have** or **I never have** and see your score. ## Rules and tips - **Be honest** — the game only works if everyone owns up. - **Stories beat points.** The best part is hearing how someone got lost in Tokyo or sang the wrong lyrics at a concert. - **Write your own.** Take turns inventing statements about things you have never done — the sneakiest players pick things they know a certain friend has done. - **Keep it kind.** Skip anything that could embarrass someone in a hurtful way. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play Never Have I Ever?** Everyone holds up five (or ten) fingers. One player reads a statement starting with 'Never have I ever…', like 'Never have I ever missed a flight.' Anyone who HAS done it puts a finger down — and usually tells the story. The last player with fingers left wins. On this page, add players and tap everyone who has done it; the game counts the fingers for you. **How many never have I ever questions are there?** More than 1,000 original statements in 13 categories: funny, friends, kids and family, teens, school and work, travel and adventure, food, juicy but clean, adults, couples, tech and internet, embarrassing, and life and bucket list. Statements are shuffled and don't repeat until you've seen them all. **Are the questions clean?** Yes. Every statement is clean — there are no drinking or dirty versions. The Juicy (but clean) category adds harmless confessions like 'lied to get out of plans', and the Kids & family category is perfect for younger players. **Can I play Never Have I Ever alone?** Yes. Answer each statement with 'I have' or 'I never have' and the page keeps your score — for example, 'You've done 12 of 30 (40%)'. It's a fun way to compare with friends later. **What are good never have I ever questions?** The best statements are things some people have done and others haven't, and that come with a story — like missing a flight, sending a text to the wrong person, or getting lost in a foreign city. Avoid statements that everyone (or no one) has done, and anything that could embarrass someone in a hurtful way. **Is it free?** Yes — free, no sign-up, no app. Player names and scores stay in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Truth or Dare](https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/): Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. - [Would You Rather](https://linguaholic.com/games/would-you-rather/): Play Would You Rather online: more than 1,100 original, family-friendly questions in 26 categories — funny, hard, weird, for couples, teens, kids, the classroom, gaming, work, holidays and more — with group voting on one phone, or browse the full list. --- # Truth or Dare > Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/?category=kids,family - `category`: comma-separated category keys: funny, friends, kids, teens, family, party, couples, deep, text, sleepover, crush, juicy, office (for example `kids,family`) ## How to play Truth or Dare **Truth or Dare** is the classic party game: on your turn you choose **truth** and answer a question honestly, or **dare** and complete a challenge.

The player whose turn it is taps **Truth**, **Dare**, or **Random** if they can’t decide. 3. They answer the truth honestly or do the dare. Not comfortable? Tap **Skip** for another card. 4. Tap **Next** for the next player — in order around the circle, or **spin** to pick someone at random. This page has **1,003 original truths and dares** — 566 truth questions and 437 dares — in 13 categories. Cards are shuffled and don’t repeat until you’ve seen them all. ## House rules that keep it fun - **Everyone can pass.** Agree on a light forfeit for skips (like ten jumping jacks), but never pressure anyone. - **Truths stay in the room.** What’s said during the game isn’t repeated later. - **Safe dares only.** Nothing dangerous, nothing involving strangers, and nothing that could break or hurt something. Every dare here follows that rule. - **Mix it up.** Nobody can pick truth three times in a row — it keeps the dares coming. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play Truth or Dare?** Players take turns. On your turn, choose truth — and answer a question honestly — or dare — and do a challenge. Then it is the next player's turn.

Switch categories on or off to fit your group. **Are the dares safe and family-friendly?** Yes. Every truth and dare is clean, and every dare can be done safely at home — no dangerous stunts, nothing involving strangers, and nothing that means eating something that isn't food. Players can always skip a card and get another one. **Can we play Truth or Dare over text or video call?** Yes. Turn on the Over text / online category for truths and dares that work in a chat or on a video call, like sending a voice message, a photo of what's in front of you, or replying only in emojis. **What if someone doesn't want to answer or do a dare?** Tap Skip to get another card of the same kind. Many groups agree on a small, fun forfeit for skips — like doing ten jumping jacks — but nobody should ever be pressured into something they're not comfortable with. **Is it free?** Yes — free, no sign-up, and no app. Player names stay in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Never Have I Ever](https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/): Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - [Would You Rather](https://linguaholic.com/games/would-you-rather/): Play Would You Rather online: more than 1,100 original, family-friendly questions in 26 categories — funny, hard, weird, for couples, teens, kids, the classroom, gaming, work, holidays and more — with group voting on one phone, or browse the full list. --- # Would You Rather > Play Would You Rather online: more than 1,100 original, family-friendly questions in 26 categories — funny, hard, weird, for couples, teens, kids, the classroom, gaming, work, holidays and more — with group voting on one phone, or browse the full list. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/would-you-rather/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/would-you-rather/?category=kids - `category`: comma-separated category keys: funny, superpowers, food, travel, animals, kids, deep, work, life, tech, friends, gross, money, seasons, sports, entertainment, fantasy, couples, hard, weird, teens, classroom, gaming, christmas, halloween, thanksgiving (for example `kids`) ## What is Would You Rather? **Would You Rather** is a simple conversation game: someone asks a question with two options, and everyone has to pick one — no “both” and no “neither”. Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible? Eat pizza every day or never again? The fun is not the answer but the *why*, which is why it works for parties, road trips, classrooms, family dinners, and first dates alike. This page has **1,139 original, family-friendly questions** in 26 categories. Play them one by one above — tap an answer to vote and pass the phone around to see how the group splits — or scroll down for the full list. ## How to play 1. Pick your categories (or keep them all) and read the question out loud. 2. Everyone chooses an option. On one phone, each player taps their answer to add a vote. 3. Take turns explaining your choice — the best reason wins the round, if you’re keeping score. 4. Tap **Next question**. Questions don’t repeat until you’ve seen every one. ### Ways to play - **Party game:** go around the circle; anyone in the minority has to defend their choice. - **Classroom warm-up:** put the question on the board and have students move to side A or B of the room. Great for ESL speaking practice (“I would rather… because…”). - **Road trips:** the passenger reads, the driver answers first. - **Guess the answer:** one player answers secretly, everyone else guesses what they chose. - **Write your own:** after five rounds, each player invents a question for the group. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play Would You Rather?** One person reads a question with two options — for example, would you rather be able to fly or be invisible? Everyone picks one and explains why. There are no wrong answers; the fun is in the reasons. On this page, tap an option to vote, pass the phone around to count the whole group's votes, then tap Next question. **How many questions are there?** More than 1,100 original questions in 26 categories: funny, hard choices, weird and crazy, couples, teens, kids, classroom brain breaks, gaming, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, superpowers, food, travel, animals, deep, work and school, life, tech, friends and family, gross but clean, money, holidays and seasons, sports, music and movies, and fantasy. Switch categories on or off to build your own mix. **Are the questions family-friendly?** Yes. Every question is clean and suitable for kids, classrooms, and family game nights. Use the For kids category for younger players and the Deep & hard category for thoughtful conversations with teens and adults. **Will I see the same question twice?** Not until you have gone through every question in your chosen categories. The game shuffles a fresh deck each time and never repeats a question within a deck. **What makes a good would you rather question?** Both options should be tempting (or equally awful), so the choice is genuinely hard. Good questions are short enough to read aloud and spark a story or an argument about why. **Is it free?** Yes — completely free with no sign-up or app. It runs in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Never Have I Ever](https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/): Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - [Truth or Dare](https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/): Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. --- # Imposter Game > Play the Imposter party word game right in your browser — pass one phone around or join on everyone's phone with a game code.

The **Imposter game** is a quick party word game for 3 to 20 players. Everyone gets the same secret word — except the **imposter**, who doesn’t know it. Players take turns giving one-word clues, then discuss and vote on who they think is faking it. The group has to catch the imposter without giving the word away; the imposter has to blend in and work out the word from everyone else’s clues. You don’t need cards, paper, or an app. This page picks the word and the imposter at random and shows each player their secret card — on **one phone passed around the group**, or on **everyone’s own phone** with a shared game code. ## How to play the Imposter game 1. **Set up.** Choose the number of players and imposters, the hint for the imposter, and which categories to play with. 2. **Get your cards.** Each player secretly looks at their card. Most players see the secret word and its category; the imposter sees “You’re the imposter!” — plus a hint if you turned hints on. 3. **Give clues.** Starting with the player the game picks, everyone says one word (or a very short clue) related to the secret word. Go around once or twice. 4. **Discuss and vote.** Use the timer, talk it over, then point at the player you think is the imposter on the count of three. 5. **Reveal.** Tap *Reveal the imposter*. If the group caught the imposter, the imposter gets one last chance: guess the secret word to steal the win. ### Who wins? - **The group wins** if they vote out the imposter and the imposter can’t guess the word. - **The imposter wins** if they avoid being voted out — or if they’re caught but correctly guess the secret word. For a longer game, keep score: 1 point to every player when the group wins, 2 points to the imposter when the imposter wins. First to 10 points takes the crown. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play the Imposter game?** Everyone gets the same secret word except the imposter, who only learns that they are the imposter (and, if you like, gets a hint). Players take turns saying one word or a short clue about the secret word. Then everyone discusses and votes on who the imposter is. The group wins if they catch the imposter; the imposter wins if they escape — or if they correctly guess the secret word after being caught. **Can I play the Imposter game online on several phones?** Yes. Choose Everyone's phone, set up the game, and share the 12-character game code. Each player opens this page, taps Join a game, enters the code, and picks their own player number. Every phone shows the right card, with no accounts and no app needed. Tap Next round together to keep playing. **Can we play with just one phone?** Yes. Choose One phone, enter the number of players (and names if you like), and pass the phone around. Each player taps to see their word, then hides it and passes it on. When everyone has seen their card, the app says who goes first and can reveal the imposter at the end. **What hint does the imposter get?** You choose: no hint at all (hardest), the category of the secret word, or the category plus a related word — for example cheese when the word is pizza. Hints make the game easier for the imposter and are great for kids and new players. **How many imposters should there be?** One imposter works best for 3 to 7 players. With 8 to 12 players, two imposters keep the game exciting, and with larger groups you can use three. The game allows up to three imposters and up to 20 players. **What are good words for the Imposter game?** The best words are well known but not too obvious from a single clue — like pizza, lighthouse, dentist, or volcano. The game has more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories — including animals, food, places, jobs, sports, movies and TV, funny & silly, and a hard mode with abstract ideas — and you can switch categories on or off or use the Kids, Party, Travel, and Hard mode quick picks. **Is the Imposter game free?** Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up and no app to install. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere; a joined phone only remembers its own seat in the last game, so a reload keeps your card. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Never Have I Ever](https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/): Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - [Truth or Dare](https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/): Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. --- # Word Unscrambler > Unscramble letters into every possible word from a 179,000-word list — with blank tiles, anagrams, word-game points, starts/ends/contains filters, and definitions. A two-word mode solves jumbled phrases. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-unscrambler/ - Type: free online tool (Word games & fun), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 9, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-unscrambler/?q=retains - `q`: the letters to unscramble, up to 15; use * (or %3F for ?) for a blank tile (for example `retains`) - `words`: set to 2 for the two-word mode: every pair of words that uses all of the letters, up to 30 letters, no blank tiles (for example `2`) - `starts`: only words starting with these letters (for example `st`) - `ends`: only words ending with these letters (for example `s`) - `contains`: only words containing these letters (for example `ai`) - `length`: only words of exactly this length, 2 to 15 (for example `5`) ## How to unscramble words Type your letters into the box — from a word game rack, a jumbled puzzle, or just a random mix — and the **word unscrambler** instantly lists every word you can make, longest first. It searches **about 179,000 English words**, including plurals and verb forms like “tables” and “jumped”, so it works for word games as well as everyday puzzles. 1. Enter up to 15 letters. Add **?** or * for each blank tile. 2. Narrow the list with **starts with**, **ends with**, **contains**, or an exact **length** — handy when a word has to fit a board or a crossword gap. 3. Sort by length, by points, or A–Z, and tap any word for a short definition. 4. For a jumbled phrase, switch to **Two words**: the tool then lists every pair of words that uses all of your letters. ## Anagram solver An **anagram** uses all the same letters in a new order: *listen* → *silent*, *heart* → *earth*. When a word can be made from all of your letters, the unscrambler shows it right at the top as an anagram. Here are some common words with three or more anagrams: | Letters | Anagrams | | --- | --- | | opst | opts, post, pots, spot, stop, tops | | arst | arts, rats, star, tars, tsar | | aemn | amen, mane, mean, name | | aers | ares, ears, eras, sear | | bstu | bust, buts, stub, tubs | | deit | diet, edit, tide, tied | | aeprs | pares, parse, pears, reaps, spare, spear | | abers | bares, baser, bears, saber, sabre | | eimst | emits, items, mites, smite, times | | aelps | lapse, leaps, pales, peals, pleas | | aelst | least, slate, stale, steal, tales | | aemst | mates, meats, steam, tames, teams | | aelpst | palest, pastel, petals, plates, pleats, staple | | acerst | caster, caters, crates, reacts, traces | | adelst | deltas, lasted, salted, slated, staled | | adeprs | drapes, parsed, rasped, spared, spread | | eilnst | enlist, inlets, listen, silent, tinsel | | aeprss | parses, passer, spares, sparse, spears | | adehrst | dearths, hardest, hatreds, threads, trashed | | ceeprst | respect, scepter, sceptre, specter, spectre | | adeegnr | angered, derange, enraged, grenade | | adeiprs | aspired, despair, diapers, praised | | acenrst | canters, recants, scanter, trances | | eilnsst | enlists, listens, silents, tinsels | ## Frequently asked questions **How does the word unscrambler work?** Type your letters and it checks them against about 179,000 English words, listing every word that can be made from those letters, longest first. Each letter can be used only as often as you typed it. Add ? or * for blank tiles that can be any letter. **What is an anagram solver?** An anagram uses all the same letters in a different order, like listen and silent. When a word can be made from all of your letters, the unscrambler shows it at the top as an anagram, so it works as an anagram solver too. **Can I use blank tiles or wildcards?** Yes. Type a question mark or an asterisk for each blank tile, up to 15 letters in total. Letters filled by a blank score zero points, as they do in board games. **Does it include plurals and verb forms?** Yes. The word list includes plurals, past tenses, -ing forms, and comparatives like 'tables', 'jumped', 'running', and 'bigger', because word games accept them. Tick 'Common words only' to see just everyday words. **How are the points calculated?** Points use the classic letter values from crossword-style board games (for example E = 1, K = 5, Q and Z = 10). Board bonuses aren't included because they depend on where the word is placed. **Can it unscramble two words or a phrase?** Yes. Switch to Two words and type up to 30 letters. The tool lists every pair of words that together use all of your letters, for example dormitory gives dirty room. Pairs of everyday words come first, and the two words can go in either order. **Is a word descrambler the same as a word unscrambler?** Yes. Descramble, unjumble and unscramble all mean putting mixed-up letters back into real words. Type the letters as they are given, with or without spaces between them, and the tool lists the words they make. **How do I see only 5, 6 or 7 letter words?** After you type your letters, a row of buttons above the results shows each word length with the number of words it has. Tap a length to list only those words, and tap All to see everything again. **Is it free and private?** Yes. It's free with no sign-up, and it runs in your browser — your letters are never sent anywhere. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

A **random word generator** picks English words at random — one at a time or in batches. This one draws from the Linguaholic dictionary of about **58,000 real English words**, each tagged with its part of speech, how common it is, its syllables, and its topic. That means you can ask for exactly what you need: an easy noun to draw, a verb to act out, a five-letter word, or an advanced adjective with its definition. ### Why 58,000 words? Our full word list is much bigger — about 179,000 entries — but most of those are just other forms of the same word: plurals like “cats”, endings like “running” or “happiest”, and past tenses like “flew”. They would only give you repeats, so they don’t count. What’s left are real dictionary words, each with a part of speech and a definition. A few very obscure or technical terms without a definition are left out too, so every word you get is one you can look up and use. Every word can show a short **definition**, so the generator doubles as a vocabulary builder. Offensive words and slurs are filtered out, which keeps it safe for classrooms and family game nights. ## How to use the random word generator 1. **Pick a preset** — Any word, Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Pictionary, Charades, Writing prompt, Song lyrics, Funny words, Vocabulary builder, or 5-letter words. 2. **Fine-tune the filters:** difficulty, part of speech, topic (animals, food, feelings…), number of letters, syllables, and letters the word starts with, ends with, or contains. 3. **Choose the output:** single words, adjective + noun pairs (“silver lantern”), or two- and three-word combinations for prompts and brainstorming. 4. Press **Generate**. Press again for new words — the generator avoids repeating words you just saw. **Copy** puts the list on your clipboard, one word per line. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the random word generator work?** It picks words at random from the Linguaholic dictionary of about 58,000 real English words, each tagged with its part of speech, how common it is, its syllables, and its topic. Choose a preset or set filters, press Generate, and press again for new words. It avoids repeating words you just saw, and everything runs in your browser. **Can I get random words with definitions?** Yes. Turn on Show definitions and every word comes with a short definition, from WordNet (Princeton University) and friendly everyday definitions. It is a quick way to learn new words — use the Vocabulary builder preset for advanced ones. **Can I generate only nouns, verbs, or adjectives?** Yes. Set the part of speech to nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. Words are sorted by how they are mostly used, so rabbit is a noun and bite is a verb. For nouns you can also pick a topic such as animals, food, objects, places, or feelings. **Is there a Pictionary word generator?** Yes. The Pictionary preset uses hand-picked words that can be drawn, in easy, medium, and hard levels — from apple and bicycle to nostalgia and jet lag. Generate one word per turn or 20 at once to make cards. **Can I use it for charades?** Yes. The Charades preset gives actions, animals, jobs, and situations to act out, from easy prompts for kids like brushing teeth to hard ones like parallel parking or stage fright. **How do I get a random 5-letter word?** Use the 5-letter words preset, or set Letters to any length from 3 to 12+. You can combine it with starts with, ends with, or contains to narrow it down. **Why does it say 58,000 words — isn't English bigger than that?** Our full word list has about 179,000 entries, but most are other forms of the same word, such as plurals (cats), -ing and -ed endings (running, jumped), and past tenses (flew). Those would only give you repeats, so they aren't counted. The 58,000 words are real dictionary words, each with a part of speech and a definition, so every word you get is one you can look up and use. **What do the difficulty levels mean?** Easy covers about 6,000 everyday words, Medium about 17,000 common words, Hard covers advanced words educated readers know but rarely use, and Very rare covers unusual and specialist words. Levels are based on the word-frequency levels of the SCOWL word lists. **Are the words safe for kids and classrooms?** Yes. Profanity, slurs, and crude words are filtered out, and the game presets use hand-picked lists, so it is suitable for classrooms and family game nights. **Is it free and private?** Yes — free with no sign-up. Words are chosen in your browser with its built-in random number generator, and nothing you do is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

This one has three modes — pick the one that fits: - **Letter picker** — one big random letter at a time. Tap *Pick a letter* (or press Space), tap *Hear it* to hear it read aloud, and see your history below. - **Alphabet wheel** — spin a colorful letter wheel, great on a classroom screen or at a party. - **Letters & strings** — many random letters at once (with or without repeats), or random strings of letters, numbers, and symbols. Options work in every mode: choose from 10 alphabets, pick vowels, consonants, or your own letters, switch between uppercase and lowercase, tick **No repeats** to use each letter only once, and tick **Skip hard letters** for word games. ## Pick a random letter for word games A **random letter picker** is the heart of many word games. Some favorites: - **Categories games** — everyone writes a word for each category starting with the chosen letter. Play our free [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/) online. - **Stop / Tutti Frutti** — race to fill in a country, a name, an animal, and a food with the letter, then shout “Stop!” - **The alphabet game** — name something from a topic that starts with the letter, or spot something that starts with it on a road trip. - **Drawing and story games** — draw or tell a story about things that start with the letter. ### Which letters should you skip? Very few English words start with Q, U, V, X, Y, or Z, so many word games leave them out of the letter draw. Tick **Skip hard letters** to do the same, and **No repeats** so every round gets a new letter. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I pick a random letter?** Tap Pick a letter (or press Space) and a random letter appears in large type. Tap it again for another. You can hear each letter read aloud, see a history of past letters, and tick No repeats so every letter comes up only once. **Can I spin a letter wheel?** Yes. Switch to Alphabet wheel and tap SPIN. The wheel works with every alphabet and your own letters, and with No repeats on, letters that have already come up turn grey. **Which letters should I skip for categories games?** Many word games leave out Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z because so few words start with them. Tick Skip hard letters to remove them. **Can it generate random letters and numbers?** Yes. In Letters & strings mode, generate up to 100 random letters at once, or random strings of letters, numbers, and symbols of any length — with an option to skip look-alike characters like 0 and O. **Does it work with other alphabets?** Yes: English, Spanish (with Ñ), German (with Ä, Ö, Ü, ß), Greek, Russian Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese hiragana and katakana, and Korean Hangul, with letter names or readings shown under each letter. **Is it truly random?** Every letter is picked with your browser's secure random number generator, so each letter in the English alphabet has the same 1-in-26 chance. Nothing is sent to a server. **Can I choose only vowels or my own letters?** Yes. Choose Vowels only, Consonants only, or My own letters and type the letters you want to pick from. ## Related tools - [Random Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/random-word-generator/): Generate random English words from a 58,000-word dictionary — with definitions, difficulty levels, topics, letter and syllable filters, and ready-made modes for Pictionary, charades, writing prompts, songs, and vocabulary. - [Word Combiner](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-combiner/): Combine lists of words into every pairing, blend two words into a portmanteau (breakfast + lunch = brunch), and explore 1,200 compound words — with real English words marked. - [Rhyming Words](https://linguaholic.com/tools/rhyming-words/): Find words that rhyme with any word: perfect rhymes first, then near rhymes, words with the same vowel sound, and phrases, with the most common words on top. - [Title Capitalization Tool](https://linguaholic.com/tools/title-capitalization-tool/): Capitalize a title in APA, MLA, Chicago or AP style or in sentence case, see the reason for every word, and compare all styles side by side. - [Run-On Sentence Checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/): Paste your text to find comma splices and fused sentences.

The **case converter** changes it as you type, so you can try 14 different cases on the same text and keep the one you like. Each line is converted on its own, so a list of headings, names or variable names works line by line. 1. **Choose a case.** The buttons are grouped: titles and sentences, capitals, fun cases, and cases for code. 2. **For Title Case, pick a style guide**: APA, MLA, Chicago or AP. Under the result, the tool lists the words it kept lowercase and why (article, preposition, conjunction), so you can check the result against your assignment or house style. 3. **Tidy up if you need to.** *Trim extra spaces* removes spaces at the start and end of each line and turns double spaces into single ones. *Remove extra blank lines* closes up gaps of several empty lines, which is handy for text copied from a PDF or an email. 4. **Copy, download or keep going.** *Copy* puts the result on your clipboard, *Download .txt* saves it as a text file, and *Use as input* moves the result into the box so you can convert it again. Below the input you see live counts of characters, words, sentences and lines. For a deeper look at your text, such as reading time and keyword density, use the [word counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/). Open **See your text in every case** to compare all 14 versions at once and copy any of them. Your text stays in your browser the whole time; nothing is uploaded. ## Title case converter: how to capitalize a title **Title case** means the important words of a title start with a capital letter and the small words in between stay lowercase. Everyone agrees on the big picture: capitalize the first word, and capitalize nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns. Style guides disagree on the small words, mostly prepositions and conjunctions. That is why “capitalize my title” has more than one right answer, and why the tool asks which guide you follow. The same titles in all four styles: | APA | MLA | Chicago | AP | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Notes From a Year Without Sugar | Notes from a Year without Sugar | Notes from a Year without Sugar | Notes From a Year Without Sugar | | The House Between the Hills | The House between the Hills | The House between the Hills | The House Between the Hills | | Living With Less: A Guide to Small Homes | Living with Less: A Guide to Small Homes | Living with Less: A Guide to Small Homes | Living With Less: A Guide to Small Homes | | What if the Rain Comes Early | What If the Rain Comes Early | What If the Rain Comes Early | What if the Rain Comes Early | | Small yet Mighty: A Guide to Tiny Gardens | Small yet Mighty: A Guide to Tiny Gardens | Small Yet Mighty: A Guide to Tiny Gardens | Small yet Mighty: A Guide to Tiny Gardens | | A Cause Worth Fighting for | A Cause Worth Fighting For | A Cause Worth Fighting For | A Cause Worth Fighting For | | An Up-to-Date List of Anti-Inflammatory Foods | An Up-to-Date List of Anti-Inflammatory Foods | An Up-to-Date List of Anti-inflammatory Foods | An Up-to-Date List of Anti-Inflammatory Foods | | Setting Up a Garden From Scratch | Setting Up a Garden from Scratch | Setting Up a Garden from Scratch | Setting Up a Garden From Scratch | The pattern is easy to see. APA and AP decide by length: prepositions and conjunctions of four letters or more get a capital (*From*, *Between*, *With*). MLA and Chicago decide by part of speech: a preposition stays lowercase however long it is (*from*, *between*, *without*). ### APA title case APA Style is used for papers in psychology, education, nursing and the social sciences. APA uses title case for the title of your paper, for its headings and for the titles of works you mention in your text. The titles of articles and books in the reference list use sentence case instead. **Capitalize:** - The first word of the title and of any subtitle, and the first word after a colon, em dash or end punctuation - Nouns, verbs (including short ones like Is and Be), adjectives, adverbs and pronouns - Every word of four letters or more, so With, From, Between and That are capitalized - Both parts of a hyphenated major word (Self-Report) **Keep lowercase** (unless it is the first word): - Articles: a, an, the - Short conjunctions: and, as, but, for, if, nor, or, so, yet - Short prepositions of three letters or fewer: as, at, by, for, in, of, off, on, out, per, to, up, via - These short words stay lowercase at the end of a title too, because APA names only the first word Example: *Living With Less: A Guide to Small Homes*. Note *With* (four letters) and *A* (the first word after the colon). ### MLA title case MLA style is common in literature, languages and the humanities, and it is the style many high school English classes teach. MLA uses title case for the titles of the works you cite, both in your text and in the works-cited list. **Capitalize:** - The first and last word of the title and of any subtitle - All principal words: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs - Subordinating conjunctions such as because, if, than, that, when, although - Words after a hyphen in a compound, unless they are minor words (Self-Portrait) **Keep lowercase** (unless it is the first word or the last word): - Articles: a, an, the - Prepositions of any length: against, between, of, through, with - Coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet - The to in infinitives (How to Write) Example: *Notes from a Year without Sugar*. Both *from* and *without* are prepositions, so both stay lowercase, while the last word always gets a capital. ### Chicago title case The Chicago Manual of Style is the standard in book publishing and in history, and many magazines and websites follow it as well. Its title rules (sometimes called headline style) are close to MLA’s, with a few differences: Chicago capitalizes *so*, *yet* and *if*, keeps *as* lowercase in every use, and has its own rule for hyphenated words. **Capitalize:** - The first and last word of the title and of any subtitle - Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions other than and, but, for, or, nor (so If, Yet and So are capitalized) - The first part of a hyphenated word, and later parts unless they are articles, prepositions or conjunctions **Keep lowercase** (unless it is the first word or the last word): - Articles: a, an, the - Prepositions of any length: from, with, between, through - The conjunctions and, but, for, or, nor - The word to (as a preposition or in an infinitive) and the word as (in any use) - After a prefix such as anti-, pre- or non-, the second part of a hyphenated word (Anti-intellectual) Example: *Small Yet Mighty: A Guide to Tiny Gardens* and *An Up-to-Date List of Anti-inflammatory Foods*. ### AP title case The AP Stylebook is the guide for news writing. AP uses title case for the titles of books, films, songs, shows and other works; for headlines, AP uses sentence case, so for a news headline choose **Sentence case** instead. **Capitalize:** - The first and last word, even when it is an article or a short word - All principal words: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs - Prepositions and conjunctions of four letters or more: With, From, Into, That, Than **Keep lowercase** (unless it is the first word or the last word): - Articles: a, an, the - Conjunctions of three letters or fewer: and, as, but, for, if, nor, or, so, yet - Prepositions of three letters or fewer: at, by, for, in, of, off, on, out, per, to, up, via AP and APA lowercase the same short words, so they agree on most titles. The difference is at the end: AP always capitalizes the last word (*A Cause Worth Fighting For*), while APA keeps a short preposition there lowercase (*A Cause Worth Fighting for*). ### What words are not capitalized in a title? Here is how each guide treats the small words people ask about most, when the word sits in the middle of a title. In every style, the first word gets a capital, and in MLA, Chicago and AP the last word does too. | Word | APA | MLA | Chicago | AP | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | a | a | a | a | a | | an | an | an | an | an | | the | the | the | the | the | | and | and | and | and | and | | but | but | but | but | but | | or | or | or | or | or | | for | for | for | for | for | | nor | nor | nor | nor | nor | | so | so | so | So | so | | yet | yet | yet | Yet | yet | | if | if | If | If | if | | as | as | as | as | as | | at | at | at | at | at | | by | by | by | by | by | | in | in | in | in | in | | of | of | of | of | of | | on | on | on | on | on | | to | to | to | to | to | | up | up | up | up | up | | with | With | with | with | With | | from | From | from | from | From | | into | Into | into | into | Into | | about | About | about | about | About | | between | Between | between | between | Between | | through | Through | through | through | Through | | is | Is | Is | Is | Is | | are | Are | Are | Are | Are | | it | It | It | It | It | | you | You | You | You | You | | that | That | That | That | That | Short verbs and pronouns such as *is*, *are*, *be*, *it* and *you* are always capitalized in a title. They are short, but they are not minor words: a verb is one of the main parts of a sentence. ### Colons, hyphens, acronyms and other tricky spots - **After a colon:** the first word of a subtitle gets a capital in every style (*Cooking for One: A Guide for Busy Weeks*). The tool treats a question mark, an exclamation mark and a dash between spaces the same way. - **Hyphenated words:** the first part always gets a capital. The parts after the hyphen follow the same rules as separate words (Chicago adds its prefix rule, above), so *State-of-the-Art* keeps *of* and *the* lowercase. - **Phrasal verbs:** in *Setting Up a Garden from Scratch*, the word *up* is part of the verb, not a preposition, so every guide capitalizes it. The tool recognizes common ones such as *set up*, *log in*, *sign up*, *shut down* and *figure out*. - **Acronyms and names with inner capitals** are kept as you typed them: *Why the USA Needs More PhD Nurses*. If your whole title is in capitals, the tool lowercases it first and then restores common acronyms such as FAQ, NASA and USB. - **Web addresses and email addresses** are left exactly as they are, and Roman numerals become capitals (*World War II: The Home Front*). One limit no tool can fully get around: some words change their part of speech with meaning. In “Walking up the Hill” the word is a preposition, but in “Picking Up the Pieces” it belongs to the verb. If a result looks off, read the word list under the result and fix that one word by hand. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I convert uppercase to lowercase?** Paste your text into the case converter and choose lowercase. For normal sentences, choose Sentence case instead: it lowercases the text but keeps capitals at the start of each sentence, on the word I and on acronyms. **What is title case?** Title case is a way of writing titles in which the first word and all major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns) start with a capital letter, while small words such as a, the, and and of stay lowercase. Style guides differ on which small words stay lowercase. **What words should not be capitalized in a title?** Articles (a, an, the), short conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for) and prepositions stay lowercase unless they are the first word. APA and AP lowercase only prepositions of three letters or fewer, while MLA and Chicago lowercase prepositions of any length. **Do you capitalize with, from and is in a title?** Is is a verb, so it is capitalized in every style. With and from are prepositions of four letters: APA and AP capitalize them, while MLA and Chicago keep them lowercase. **Should I use APA, MLA, Chicago or AP title case?** Use the style your teacher, publisher or workplace asks for. APA is common for papers in psychology, education and the social sciences, MLA for literature and the humanities, Chicago for books and many websites, and AP for news writing. **Do you capitalize the first word after a colon in a title?** Yes. The word after a colon starts the subtitle, and APA, MLA, Chicago and AP all capitalize the first word of a subtitle, even a small word such as a or the. **What is the difference between title case and sentence case?** Title case capitalizes every major word (How to Write a Great Cover Letter). Sentence case capitalizes only the first word and names, like a normal sentence (How to write a great cover letter). Both are correct; pick one and use it consistently. **How do I fix text I typed with Caps Lock on?** Paste it and choose Fix Caps Lock. Text like hELLO wORLD is flipped back to Hello World, and text written entirely in capitals is turned into sentence case that keeps common acronyms. **What are camelCase and snake_case?** They are naming conventions for code, where spaces are not allowed. camelCase joins words and capitalizes each word after the first (userName), while snake_case writes them in lowercase joined by underscores (user_name). The converter also makes PascalCase, kebab-case, CONSTANT_CASE and dot.case. **Is my text private?** Yes. The case converter runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Sentence Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/): Count sentences, words and paragraphs, see your average sentence length, and find your longest, shortest and too-long sentences. - [Remove Line Breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/): Remove line breaks from pasted text, keep paragraphs, fix PDF and email copy-paste, replace breaks with commas, or add line breaks, then copy or download. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Invisible Character](https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/): Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. --- # Braille Translator > Translate English to braille and braille back to text in Unified English Braille, with dot numbers for every cell, a name-in-braille maker and printable charts. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/ - Type: free online tool (Converters & translators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/?text=I+love+you - `text`: text to translate to braille, or braille cells / dot numbers when mode=decode (up to 2,000 characters) (for example `I love you`) - `mode`: encode (text to braille, default) or decode (braille or dot numbers to text) (for example `decode`) - `tab`: which tool opens: translate (default), name, builder or chart (for example `name`) - `name`: name shown in big braille cells (opens the name tab, up to 40 characters) (for example `Ava`) - `dots`: dot numbers of one cell for the dot builder, such as 125 (opens the builder) (for example `125`) ## A braille translator that follows the rules This **braille translator** turns English text into braille and reads braille back into text. It writes **Unified English Braille (UEB)**, the code used in the United States and most other English-speaking countries, in its **uncontracted form (grade 1)**: every letter gets its own cell, with the capital signs, number signs and punctuation the rules call for. Each cell is shown with its dot numbers, so you can check it, copy it by hand or learn from it. For example, [Hello](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/?text=Hello) is , which is the capital sign (dot 6) followed by h, e, l, l, o. Every symbol the translator writes was checked against the official rulebook of Unified English Braille. When you type a character it has no confirmed braille for, it leaves that character out and tells you, instead of guessing. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded or saved. ## How to use the braille translator - **Translate:** choose **Text → Braille** and type, or tap an example such as [I love you](https://linguaholic.com/tools/braille-translator/?text=I+love+you). The braille appears as you type. **Copy braille** copies the Unicode braille characters, which you can paste into a message or document; **Copy dot numbers** copies a plain list such as 6 1-2-5 1-5. Open **Each cell with its dot numbers** to see what every cell stands for. - **Braille → Text:** paste braille characters (⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕), or type dot numbers with a space between cells and a slash between words, like 1-2-5 1-5 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-3-5. Both 1-2-5 and 125 work. - **Name in braille:** shows a name or short message in big cells with the letter under each one, ready to print. Turn on **Mirror** if you will press the dots through from the back of the paper. - **Dot builder:** tap the six dots to raise them and see what that cell means: a letter, a digit, a punctuation mark or a sign. Add cells one by one to build a word and read it back. - **Print a chart:** prints the braille alphabet, numbers and punctuation as large dot diagrams, or saves them as a PDF. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I translate English to braille?** Type or paste your text in the Text → Braille box. The translator writes Unified English Braille grade 1 as you type, adds the capital and number signs the rules call for, and shows the dot numbers for every cell. **How do I translate braille back to English?** Choose Braille → Text and paste braille characters, or type dot numbers such as 1-2-5 1-5 with a slash between words. Any cells it cannot read are listed, which usually means the braille is contracted (grade 2). **How many dots are in a braille cell?** Six, in two columns of three. They are numbered 1, 2, 3 down the left and 4, 5, 6 down the right, which gives 64 patterns counting the blank cell. **How are numbers written in braille?** With the numeric indicator ⠼ (dots 3-4-5-6) followed by the letters a to j, which stand for 1 to 9 and 0. One indicator covers the whole number, including its commas and decimal point. **How do you show capital letters in braille?** Dot 6 before a letter makes it a capital. Two dot 6 cells put a whole word in capitals, three start a passage of three or more capitalized words, and the terminator (dots 6, 3) ends it. **What is the difference between grade 1 and grade 2 braille?** Grade 1 (uncontracted) spells every word letter by letter. Grade 2 (contracted) uses contractions, cells that stand for common words and letter groups, such as ⠮ for “the”. This translator writes grade 1. **Can this tool translate grade 2 (contracted) braille?** No. Contractions follow detailed rules about where each one may be used, and a partial version would produce wrong braille. The tool writes and reads uncontracted braille only and lists any cells it cannot read. **How do I write my name in braille?** Open Name in braille and type the name. You get big cells with the letter and dot numbers under each one, ready to print, plus a mirror option for pressing the dots through from the back of the paper. **What is Unified English Braille (UEB)?** UEB is the braille code for English developed by the International Council on English Braille. The United States switched to it in 2016, and this translator follows its rules. **Who invented braille?** Louis Braille, who lost his sight as a young child, developed the six-dot system while he was a student in Paris and published it in 1829. He based it on an earlier raised-dot code by Charles Barbier. ## Related tools - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Tap Code](https://linguaholic.com/tools/tap-code/): Translate text to tap code and back: the 5×5 knock code American prisoners of war tapped through cell walls, with the full chart and how to tap it. - [NATO Phonetic Alphabet](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nato-phonetic-alphabet/): Spell any name or code in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…), hear it word by word, decode code words, practice with quick drills, and print the chart — with the police and WWII alphabets too. - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Invisible Character](https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/): Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. --- # Fancy Text Generator > Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/?text=Hello+World&style=cursive - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `Hello World`) - `style`: opens one category of styles: bold, cursive, gothic, bubble, small, lines, flipped, glitch, aesthetic, decorated, weird; or all to list all 55 styles. A single style id (e.g. bold-script, small-caps, strikethrough, upsidedown) opens the category it belongs to (for example `cursive`) ## What is a fancy text generator? A **fancy text generator** rewrites plain typing in other Unicode characters that look like a different typeface: 𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓲𝓿𝓮, 𝔤𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠, 𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖, ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ, ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘꜱ. People call the results cool fonts, Instagram fonts or copy and paste fonts, and they call the tool a font changer or a fancy font generator. Strictly speaking, no font is involved. Every fancy letter is a separate character with its own code point, the same way “A” and “a” are separate characters. Because the look lives in the characters themselves, it survives copy and paste into any box that accepts Unicode text. Most of these alphabets come from a Unicode block called Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, which exists so that a bold 𝐯 and an italic 𝑣 can mean different things in a formula. Bubble letters come from Enclosed Alphanumerics, small caps from phonetic alphabets, and wide “aesthetic” letters from the fullwidth forms. Strikethrough, underline and glitch text are made with combining marks that attach to the letter before them. ## How to use the fancy text generator 1. Type or paste your text in the box (up to 1,000 characters). Every style updates as you type. 2. The 20 most-wanted styles are listed first. Tap **Show all 55 styles** for the rest, or use the chips to see one category at a time. 3. Tap a style, or its **Copy** button, to copy it. 4. Paste it into your bio, name, caption or message. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I use fancy text in my Instagram username?** No. Instagram usernames only allow plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Fancy characters work in the name field above your bio, in the bio itself, and in captions and comments. **Why do I see squares or question marks instead of fancy letters?** Your device has no font that contains those characters, which happens mostly on older phones and computers. The text itself is fine and will display on devices that do have the font. Try another style if the people you are writing to see boxes. **Do fancy fonts work in hashtags and @mentions?** No. A hashtag or mention written in fancy characters is not recognized as a link, and it will not show up in searches for the plain word. Style the words around them and keep the hashtag or @name in normal letters. **Do fancy letters count as more characters?** On X, yes: most of these characters count as two toward the post limit. Other apps count in their own ways, so check the app's own counter after pasting. The counter under the text box on this page counts what you typed, not the styled result. **Which fancy styles include numbers?** Bold, Serif Bold, Sans-serif, Typewriter, Outline, Aesthetic (Wide), Bubble, Black Bubble, Tiny and Subscript all change digits, for example 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟞 and ②⓪②⑥. Italic, cursive and gothic styles have no digits in Unicode, so numbers stay plain there. **Will my favorite styles still be there next time?** Yes, as long as you come back in the same browser on the same device. Favorites are saved in your browser's local storage, not in an account, so they do not sync between devices and are removed if you clear your browser data. **Can I combine two styles, like cursive with an underline?** Yes. Use the Mix your own box under the list: choose a font, an effect such as underline or strikethrough, and a decoration such as stars or hearts. Bold Cursive with Hearts gives ♡ 𝓕𝓪𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓣𝓮𝔁𝓽 ♡. **Do I need to install an app or a keyboard to use fancy fonts?** No. The generator works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Type your text, tap a style to copy it, and paste it into the app you want to use it in. ## Related tools - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

A **bold text generator**, also called a bold font generator, replaces each letter you type with a Unicode character that is drawn bold. Type “Sale ends Friday” and you get 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆. This is not formatting and it is not a font. Each bold letter is a separate character from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, which was added to Unicode so that formulas could tell a bold variable from a regular one. Because the weight is part of the character, it travels with the text when you copy and paste. That makes it useful in the places that have no bold button: a Facebook post, a LinkedIn post, an Instagram bio or a post on X. ## How to make bold text to copy and paste 1. Type or paste your text in the box. Only type the words you want in bold. 2. Pick one of the eight bold styles. They all update as you type. 3. Tap the style, or its **Copy** button. 4. Paste it into your post, bio or message, next to your normal text. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I make just one word in a sentence bold?** Yes. Type only that word in the generator, copy the bold version, and paste it into your sentence in place of the plain word. The words around it stay normal, as in "Doors open at 𝟳 𝗽𝗺 sharp". **Is there a bold italic text generator?** Yes, it is built into this page. The Bold Italic style gives 𝘽𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙏𝙚𝙭𝙩 and Serif Bold Italic gives 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕. Unicode has no bold italic digits, so numbers stay plain in both. **Why do accented letters like é or ñ stay plain?** The bold alphabets in Unicode cover the 26 basic letters and the ten digits. There are no bold versions of accented letters or punctuation, so the generator leaves those characters exactly as you typed them. **Can I put my name in bold on Instagram or Facebook?** On Instagram, yes: paste bold characters into the name field of your profile (not the @username, which must be plain). Facebook profile names are meant to be your real name in ordinary letters, so use bold in posts, comments and your bio instead. **How do I get a bold name on Discord?** Discord's **bold** Markdown only works in messages, not in names. For a bold display name, server nickname or channel name, copy bold characters from this page and paste them into the name field. **Does bold text use up more characters on X?** Yes. X counts most bold Unicode characters as two toward its post limit, so a bold sentence takes roughly twice the space of a plain one. Bold a few key words instead of the whole post. **Can I use bold text in a hashtag?** No. A hashtag written in bold characters is not recognized as a hashtag and will not appear in searches for the plain word. Keep hashtags, @mentions and links in normal letters. **Why does my bold text show up as empty boxes?** The device displaying it has no font containing the bold characters, which is most common on older phones and computers. Nothing is wrong with the text itself, but you cannot change how another person's device draws it. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

A **cursive text generator** rewrites what you type in flowing script letters that you can copy and paste: ℋℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ 𝒲ℴ𝓇𝓁𝒹, or in bold, 𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸 𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭. Some people call it a cursive generator or a cursive font generator. It is the same thing. You type once and get eight versions: thin cursive, bold cursive, a slanted italic, an underlined version, and four decorated with hearts, stars, sparkles, and flowers. No font is involved, which is the whole point. The cursive look is built into the characters themselves, so it works in places where you can't pick a font, like an Instagram bio or a Discord nickname. ## How to use the cursive generator 1. Type or paste your text into the box (up to 1,000 characters). The styles update as you type. 2. Tap the style you like, or its **Copy** button. 3. Paste it into your bio, caption, display name, or message. Short text works best: a name, a heading, a few words. A whole paragraph in cursive is tiring to read. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I get a cursive font on Instagram?** Instagram has no font setting for bios or captions. Type your text in the generator, copy the cursive version, and paste it into your name field, bio, caption, or comment. It does not work in the @username, which only allows plain letters, numbers, periods, and underscores. **Are there cursive numbers to copy and paste?** No. Unicode has no cursive digits, so numbers stay plain: "Class of 2026" becomes 𝒞𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓈 ℴ𝒻 2026. If a number has to match the lettering, spell it out or use a real font. **Which is easier to read, thin or bold cursive?** Bold cursive. Its thicker strokes stay clear at small sizes, and all of its letters come from the same Unicode block, so they look even. Thin cursive is more delicate but can look faint in a small bio line. **Can I use this cursive text for a tattoo or a wedding invitation?** Use it to try out wording, not for the final design. For anything printed or inked you want a real cursive font file in a design program, which gives you joined letters, matching numbers, and the same result on every device. **Can I download this as a cursive font?** No. There is no font file. The generator swaps each letter for a Unicode script character, so the cursive look travels with the text when you copy and paste it, but it cannot be installed or picked from a font menu. **Why does my cursive text show up as boxes or question marks?** The device displaying it has no font that contains those characters. This mostly happens on older phones and computers. Sending plain text is the only fix for those readers. **Does the cursive generator work with accented letters or other alphabets?** It converts the 26 basic Latin letters in capitals and lowercase. Accented letters such as é and ñ, punctuation, and other alphabets stay exactly as you typed them. **Can I put cursive text in my Discord or TikTok username?** Not in the username or @handle, which only accept plain characters. It works in the display name or nickname, the bio, and in messages, captions, and comments. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

A **small text generator** turns normal letters into tiny ones that you can copy and paste. This one makes three kinds at once: small caps (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴛᴇxᴛ), tiny raised letters (ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵗᵉˣᵗ), and tiny lowered letters (ₛₘₐₗₗ ₜₑₓₜ). You may also know it as a tiny text generator or little text generator. All three names mean the same tool. The letters are not shrunk with a font size. Each one is a separate Unicode character that was designed small, so it stays small wherever you paste it, including apps with no formatting options at all. ## How to use it 1. Type or paste your text into the box (up to 1,000 characters). 2. Look at the three results and tap the one you want, or its **Copy** button. 3. Paste it into your bio, display name, caption, or message. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I make tiny text on Instagram or TikTok?** Neither app lets you change the text size. Type your text in the generator, copy the small caps or tiny superscript version (ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗʰⁱˢ), and paste it into your bio, name field, or caption. **How do I type small text on Discord?** You can paste small text from this generator into any message or nickname. Discord also has built-in small text for messages: start the line with -# followed by a space. **Which small text style is the easiest to read?** Small caps. The letters are capital shapes at lowercase height, so they stay clear even in a short bio line. Superscript and subscript are much smaller and work best for a few words. **Why does the letter q stay big?** There is no small q that phones reliably display, in small caps or in superscript, so the generator leaves it at normal size: qᴜᴇᴇɴ, qᵘᵉᵉⁿ. Rewording to avoid the q is the only fix. **Can I make small numbers?** Yes, in two of the three styles. Superscript gives raised digits (⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) and subscript gives lowered digits (₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉). Small caps have no small digits, so numbers stay full size there. **Can I make the text even smaller?** No. Superscript and subscript are the smallest letters Unicode has. The size is part of each character, so it cannot be reduced further; it only scales with the text size of the app you paste into. **How do I get small caps in Google Docs or Word?** In Word, select the text and press Ctrl+Shift+K. Google Docs has no small caps button, so you can paste small caps from this generator instead. **Can I use small text in a username?** Not in the @handle on Instagram, TikTok, or X, and not in a Discord username. Those only accept plain characters. Small text works in the display name or nickname and in the bio. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

A **bubble text generator** puts each of your letters inside a circle (a bubble) — Ⓛⓘⓚⓔ Ⓣⓗⓘⓢ — which you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. A squared style is included too. ## How to use it 1. Type your text. 2. Pick bubble (circled) or square. 3. Tap **Copy** and paste it anywhere. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I make bubble letters?** Type your text and it is rewritten with circled (bubble) Unicode letters. Tap Copy and paste them anywhere — no font required. A squared style is included too. **Do bubble letters work on Instagram and Discord?** Yes. These circled and squared characters are standard Unicode, so they display on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and most apps. **Can I bubble numbers too?** Yes, digits 0–9 have circled forms, so numbers become bubble numbers alongside your letters. **Is it free?** Completely free and private — it runs entirely in your browser. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

A mild version looks like this: s͇͒͝i̘̍̂g͛͐ͅn͚ͥ͏ą̳̝l͉̳̾ l͕ͫ͠o͓ͩ͞s̖̋̀t̻̰͆. The look comes from glitch art, where digital errors are used on purpose as a style: a damaged image file, a video that skips, a worn-out VHS tape. Here the “errors” are small Unicode marks attached to each letter. They are real characters, so what you get is glitch text to copy and paste, not a picture. ## How to use the glitch text generator - **Type:** enter your text in the box, up to 1,000 characters. - **Set the strength:** in the **Make it your own** panel, drag the **How glitchy** slider from 1 (subtle) to 20 (chaos). It starts at 6. - **Aim the marks:** three checkboxes, **Above**, **Through** and **Below**, decide where the marks land. Untick one to keep that side of the letters clean. - **Shuffle:** the same settings with a fresh random set of marks. Tap it until the shape looks right. - **Copy:** tap **Copy** next to your result, or tap any of the six ready-made styles underneath. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I change the color of glitch text or animate it?** No. Glitch text is plain characters, so it takes the color and typeface of the app you paste it into, and it does not move. Colored or animated glitch needs an image or video editor. **Why is my glitch text cut off after I paste it?** Many apps only draw what fits inside the message or name box, so tall stacks of marks are clipped. Lower the strength, or untick Above or Below, to keep more of the marks inside the line. **What does the Shuffle button do?** It keeps your strength and direction settings and picks a new random set of marks. The six ready-made styles are not affected. **What is the most readable glitch style?** Wavy Strikethrough and Slashed, because each letter gets a single mark and nothing leaves the line. In the custom panel, a strength of 1 to 3 or the Through box on its own gives a similarly tidy result. **Can I use glitch text as my Discord username or gamertag?** Not in the Discord username itself, which only allows lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods. It works in the display name and server nickname. Whether a game accepts it depends on that game's name rules. **Will people find my video or stream if the title is glitched?** Search may not match letters that carry marks. Glitch one decorative word and keep the words people search for in plain letters. **Does glitch text work on iPhone and Android?** The marks are standard Unicode characters that current iPhones and Android phones display. The height and shape of the stacks vary with the font, so check the result on the device it will be seen on. **How long can my text be?** The box takes up to 1,000 characters. The result is much longer than what you typed, because every mark counts as a character of its own. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Zalgo Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/zalgo-text-generator/): Turn any text into zalgo, with marks stacked above, through and below each letter.

In its light form it looks like this: z͖͋̀à͚ͥl̖̋̀g͖ͬ͡ȍ̥̚ t̂ͧ͜êͧ͜x̰̥̚t̵̪̟. Add more marks and they climb over the line above and hang into the line below. It is not a font and it is not an image. Each letter is followed by a string of Unicode **combining marks**, the same kind of character that puts the accent on é. Because the result is plain text, you can copy and paste zalgo text into most places that let you type. The same effect also goes by glitch text, cursed text, corrupted text and void text. ## How to use the zalgo text generator 1. Type or paste your text into the box. It takes up to 1,000 characters. 2. For a quick result, use the three ready-made rows: **Light Glitch**, **Glitch** and **Heavy Glitch**. Tap a row, or its **Copy** button, to copy it. 3. For full control, use the **Make it your own** panel. Drag the **How glitchy** slider anywhere from 1 (subtle) to 20 (chaos). It starts at 6. 4. Tick or untick **Above**, **Through** and **Below** to choose where the marks go. 5. Tap **Shuffle** to keep your settings but re-roll which marks are used, then tap **Copy** next to “Your glitch text.” The three ready-made rows always give the same result for the same text. Only the panel reacts to the slider, the checkboxes and Shuffle. ## Frequently asked questions **Is zalgo text a font?** No. Zalgo text is ordinary letters followed by Unicode combining marks, so the letters keep whatever font the app uses. That is why it can be copied and pasted as plain text. **Can zalgo text damage my phone or computer?** No. It is ordinary Unicode text and cannot run code or carry a virus. A long, heavy zalgo message can make a chat look broken until it scrolls out of view, but nothing is harmed. **Why does my zalgo text look different after I paste it?** Apps and fonts draw stacked marks differently. Some let them spill over other lines, some cut them off at the edge of the message, and some fonts put every mark in one spot instead of stacking them. **How many marks can one letter have?** Unicode sets no limit. In this generator the ready-made styles use 3, 6 or 12 marks per letter, and the slider at 20 with all three boxes ticked can add up to 45. **Can I use zalgo text in a username?** Not in the @handle. Instagram, TikTok, X and Discord usernames only accept plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Zalgo text works in display names, bios, captions, posts and Discord nicknames, as long as the app does not strip the marks. **Does zalgo work on numbers and emoji?** Letters, numbers and punctuation all get marks, and spaces are left alone. Add emoji afterward, because marks placed inside an emoji made of several parts, such as a flag, can break it apart. **Is zalgo text the same as glitch text or cursed text?** Yes. All three names describe the same technique of stacking combining marks on letters. Zalgo is the name that comes from the 2004 internet horror meme. **Does the Shuffle button change the Light, Glitch and Heavy rows?** No. Shuffle only re-rolls the marks in the Make it your own panel. The three ready-made rows always give the same result for the same text. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Sentence Counter > Count sentences, words and paragraphs, see your average sentence length, and find your longest, shortest and too-long sentences. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/ - Type: free online tool (Text tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/?text=Dr.%20Lee%20arrived%20at%205%20p.m.%20She%20was%20late.&view=list - `text`: text to count sentences in (up to 20,000 characters) (for example `Dr. Lee arrived at 5 p.m. She was late.`) - `max`: word limit for a long sentence: 20, 25, 30 (default), 35 or 40 (for example `25`) - `view`: how to show the sentences: highlight (default) or list (for example `list`) - `lines`: 1 counts every line as a sentence (lists, poems) (for example `1`) ## How to use the sentence counter Paste or type your text in the box. The **sentence count** updates as you type, together with the number of words and paragraphs, the **average number of words per sentence**, and your longest and shortest sentence. Nothing is uploaded: the counting happens in your browser, so it is safe for essays, reports and private drafts. 1. **Add your text.** Paste a whole essay or type a few lines. Tap **Try an example** to see how a short sample is counted. 2. **Read the numbers.** The six boxes show sentences, words, paragraphs, words per sentence, and the longest and shortest sentence. The line under them adds the median sentence length, sentences per paragraph, how many questions and exclamations you wrote, and the character count. 3. **Check the length chart.** It sorts your sentences into five groups by length. Choose the limit for a “long” sentence (20, 25, 30, 35, 40 words; 30 is the default) and the tool lists every sentence over it, so you know exactly which ones to split. 4. **See every sentence.** *Highlighted* shows your text with each sentence shaded and numbered, the longest outlined in yellow, the shortest in teal, and long ones in red. *Numbered list* puts one sentence per row with its word count; sort it longest first or show only the long ones. 5. **Copy what you need.** *Copy results* copies a short report of all the numbers; *Copy sentences* copies the numbered list. For a list, a poem or a set of headings that have no periods, tick **Each line is a sentence**. Without it, sentences are split by punctuation, which is right for ordinary prose. ## What the numbers mean ### Sentences A sentence is a run of words that ends with a period, a question mark, an exclamation mark or an ellipsis, or that stops at the end of a paragraph. Text with no words at all, such as a stray “...” or a line of emoji, is not counted as a sentence. ### Words and paragraphs Words are counted the way a reader sees them: “don’t”, “well-known”, “3.14” and “e.g.” are one word each. Paragraphs are the blocks separated by blank lines. If your text has no blank lines at all, each line counts as a paragraph, because that is how text pasted from most editors and chat apps is laid out. ### Average and median words per sentence The **average sentence length** is the number of words in your sentences divided by the number of sentences. The median is the middle length when all sentences are lined up from shortest to longest. When one very long sentence pulls the average up, the median shows what a typical sentence looks like. In the example text, the average is 11.4 words but the median is only 6, because one sentence runs to 46 words. ### Longest and shortest sentence The longest sentence is usually the first place to look when a text feels heavy. The shortest may be a punchy line you wrote on purpose, or a fragment that slipped in by accident. If two sentences tie, the first one is marked. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the sentence counter work?** Paste or type your text and the count updates as you type. A sentence ends at a period, question mark, exclamation mark or ellipsis when a new sentence starts after it, and at the end of every paragraph. **Does it count abbreviations like Dr. or e.g. as the end of a sentence?** No. Titles such as Dr. and Mrs., shorthands such as e.g., i.e. and vs., a.m. and p.m., initials, decimals like 3.14 and web addresses are recognized, so they don't split a sentence. Switch to Highlighted to see exactly where each sentence starts. **What is a good average sentence length?** Many plain-writing guides suggest an average of about 15 to 20 words per sentence, with a mix of short and longer ones. Sentences over 25 to 30 words are worth a second look; the tool flags them for you. **How many sentences are in a paragraph?** There is no fixed rule. School essays often use three to five sentences per paragraph (some teachers ask for five to eight), while web writing and emails use shorter paragraphs of one to three sentences. **How many sentences is 100 words?** About 5 to 7 sentences, at a typical 15 to 20 words per sentence. 250 words is about 13 to 17 sentences and 500 words about 25 to 33. **What counts as a long sentence?** The tool flags sentences over 30 words by default, and you can set the limit to 20, 25, 35 or 40 words. Flagged sentences are marked in red in the text and listed by number. **How are paragraphs counted?** Blocks separated by a blank line are paragraphs. If your text has no blank lines at all, each line counts as a paragraph, which matches text pasted from most editors and chat apps. **Can I count each line as a sentence?** Yes. Tick Each line is a sentence for lists, poems or headings without periods. Lines that start with a bullet or a number, such as - item or 1. item, always start a new sentence. **Can I copy the results or the list of sentences?** Yes. Copy results copies a short report with every number, and Copy sentences copies a numbered list of your sentences with the word count of each. **Is my text private?** Yes. The sentence counter runs entirely in your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Syllable Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/syllable-counter/): Count the syllables in any word, sentence, or poem using a pronouncing dictionary — with syllable division, word stress, a haiku and poem-form checker, meter scansion, reading level, and a words-by-syllables finder. - [Remove Line Breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/): Remove line breaks from pasted text, keep paragraphs, fix PDF and email copy-paste, replace breaks with commas, or add line breaks, then copy or download. - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it. - [Invisible Character](https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/): Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. - [Discord Text Formatter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/): Format Discord messages with a live preview, make timestamps that show in every reader's own time zone, and build colored text with ANSI code blocks. --- # Character Name Generator > Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Choose a **genre**: modern and realistic, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, mystery and noir, western, or fairy tale. Each one has its own first names and surnames. 2. Pick a **gender** — female, male, or any — and a **format**: first and last name, first name only, or a full name with a middle name. 3. Press Generate for a new batch. Tap a name to copy it, or tap the heart to keep it on your shortlist. This **character name maker** does not glue random syllables together. Outside the fantasy genre, every result is a real first name paired with a real surname, chosen from 1,213 first names and 802 last names that were sorted by hand into genres. In the modern genre, first names are matched with surnames from the same background, across 18 naming traditions, so a cast can be as mixed as a real city. Use it as a **random character name generator** for a novel, a screenplay, a tabletop campaign, or a game. ## How to pick a name for a character A good **name for a character** tells the reader something before the character has said a word. Five checks help when you go through a list of **character name ideas**: - **Era and place.** First names go in and out of fashion, so a name dates the person who carries it. A Mildred or a Chester was probably born before 1930; a Jessica or a Brandon in the 1980s or 1990s; a Harper or a Mason after 2005. Work out the year your character was born and choose a name parents were using then, in that country. - **Sound.** Say the full name aloud. Hard consonants such as k, t, d, and g sound abrupt and tough; l, m, n, and open vowels sound softer. A short first name sits well next to a long surname, and the other way around. If a name is awkward to say, a reader will stumble over it on every page. - **Meaning.** A meaning that fits the character is a quiet bonus for the readers who look it up. Keep it subtle: a brave knight whose name means “brave” feels like a label. - **First letters.** Readers recognize names by their shape, mostly by the first letter and the length. Give every major character a different initial, and avoid look-alikes such as Dan, Don, and Dean in the same story. A simple alphabet chart of your cast shows the clashes at a glance. - **Famous namesakes.** Search the full name before you commit to it. A hero who happens to share a name with an actor, a politician, or the lead of another book pulls readers out of your story. The generator already skips 575 well-known combinations, but it cannot know every name, so do the search yourself. One more check for a whole cast: people from the same family share a surname and usually a naming style. Siblings called Edmund, Cecily, and Jaxon need an explanation. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the character name generator work?** Choose a genre, a gender and a format, then press Generate. Each result pairs a first name with a surname from hand-picked lists for that genre. Tap a name to copy it, or tap the heart to save it to your shortlist. **Which genres can I generate character names for?** Modern and realistic, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, mystery and noir, western, and fairy tale. Every genre has its own first names and last names, so a noir detective and a frontier rancher do not end up with the same kind of name. **Can I use these character names in my book or game?** Yes. The results are ordinary first names and surnames, which nobody owns. Before you publish, search the full name to make sure it does not belong to a well-known person or to a character in another story. **How do I choose a good name for a character?** Start with when and where the character was born and pick a name that was in use then. Say it aloud, give each main character a different first letter, and check that the full name is not already famous. **Can I generate only a first name or only a last name?** Set the format to First name only to get first names. For surnames, see the lists of character last names on this page, or use the Last Name Generator to pick surnames by origin. **Does it create fantasy character names?** Yes. Set the genre to Fantasy to get invented names for humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, wizards and knights. To choose a single race or add a title, use the Fantasy Name Generator. **Can I use it for anime character names?** Anime characters mostly have Japanese names. The modern genre includes a few, but the Japanese Name Generator gives you far more first and family names to choose from. ## Related tools - [Last Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/last-name-generator/): Generate random last names by origin, from common American and Japanese surnames to fantasy, noble, and medieval ones, alone or paired with a first name. - [Japanese Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/japanese-name-generator/): Generate real Japanese names in romaji and kanji — full names, first names, or last names, in popular, traditional, and nature styles, in either name order. - [D&D Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/dnd-name-generator/): Generate D&D character names for ten races, with surnames, clan names, or titles, plus party names and tavern names for your campaign. - [Elf Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/elf-name-generator/): Generate elf names by type — high elf, wood elf, dark elf, half-elf, snow elf, or Christmas elf — with female and male first names and matching elf last names. - [Warrior Cats Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/warrior-cats-name-generator/): Make warrior cat names by rank and coat, from kit and apprentice to warrior and leader, plus loner, kittypet and clan names.

Pick an **origin**: American, English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, fantasy, noble and royal, or medieval. Leave it on *Any origin* for a fully random last name. 2. Pick a **format**: the last name alone, or a full name with a female or male first name from the same origin. 3. Optional: type **your first name** (or your character’s) to see it next to every surname. 4. Tap a name to copy it, and ♥ the ones you want to keep. Generate again for new names with no repeats. The last name generator draws on 1,903 surnames written out by hand across 12 origins, 137 word parts for compound fantasy surnames, and 1,074 first names for the full-name formats. The real surnames are ones people carry today, so they work for novel and game characters, pen names, role-play, sample data, and baby-name research on how a first name sounds with different family names. ## Most common last names in the United States The U.S. Census Bureau counted every surname in the 2010 census. These were the 10 most common, in order. Garcia, Rodriguez, and Martinez are Spanish; the others reached America from England and Wales. | Last name | Rank | Origin and meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | **Smith** | 1 | English: a metalworker (blacksmith) | | **Johnson** | 2 | English: son of John | | **Williams** | 3 | English and Welsh: son of William | | **Brown** | 4 | English and Scottish: brown hair or complexion | | **Jones** | 5 | Welsh and English: son of John | | **Garcia** | 6 | Spanish; the root is old and debated, probably Basque | | **Miller** | 7 | English: someone who ran a grain mill | | **Davis** | 8 | Welsh and English: son of David | | **Rodriguez** | 9 | Spanish: son of Rodrigo | | **Martinez** | 10 | Spanish: son of Martín | Also among the most common American last names: - Hernandez - Lopez - Gonzalez - Wilson - Anderson - Thomas - Taylor - Moore - Jackson - Martin - Lee - Perez - Thompson - White - Harris - Sanchez - Clark - Ramirez - Lewis - Robinson More **American last names** from the generator, which holds 298 of the country’s most common surnames from every background: - Walker - Young - Allen - King - Wright - Scott - Torres - Nguyen - Hill - Flores - Green - Adams - Nelson - Baker - Hall - Rivera - Campbell - Mitchell - Carter - Roberts - Gomez - Phillips - Evans - Turner - Diaz - Parker - Cruz - Edwards - Collins - Reyes - Stewart - Morris - Morales - Murphy - Cook - Rogers - Gutierrez - Ortiz - Morgan - Cooper - Peterson - Bailey - Reed - Kelly - Howard - Ramos - Kim - Cox - Ward - Richardson - Watson - Brooks - Chavez - Wood - James - Bennett - Gray - Mendoza - Ruiz - Hughes ## Frequently asked questions **How does the last name generator work?** Choose an origin and a format, then press Generate. Each last name comes from a hand-written list of surnames for that origin; fantasy surnames and double-barrelled noble names are assembled from word parts. Names you have already seen are not repeated. **Are these real last names?** The American, English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, German, Spanish, French, and Japanese options use real surnames that people carry today, and the medieval option uses real English bynames. Fantasy surnames are invented, and the noble option mixes real aristocratic-sounding surnames with double-barrelled combinations. **Can I generate a first and last name together?** Yes. Set the format to a female or male first name and every surname is paired with a first name from the same origin. You can also type your own first name to see it next to each last name. **What is the most common last name in the United States?** Smith. In the 2010 U.S. Census it was followed by Johnson, Williams, Brown, and Jones. **How do I find a last name that goes with a first name?** Type the first name in the box and read the results aloud. Combinations usually sound best when the two names differ in length and the first name does not end with the sound that starts the surname. **What are the four types of surnames?** Patronymic surnames name a father or ancestor (Johnson), occupational ones record a trade (Smith), locational ones say where someone lived (Hill), and descriptive ones began as nicknames (Brown). **Can I use these last names for a character or pen name?** Yes. Surnames are free to use in stories, games, and pen names. Search the full name before you publish, because any realistic combination may belong to a real person and a fantasy compound may already appear in another book or game. ## Related tools - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Choose what to generate: **full names**, **first names**, or **last names**. 2. Pick a gender and a style. *Popular today* draws on names that are common among children and young adults in Japan now, *Traditional* on classic names from earlier generations (Keiko, Hiroshi, Ichiro), and *Nature* on names written with kanji for plants, seasons, weather, sea, and sky. 3. Set the name order: given name first, as in most English text, or family name first, as in Japan. 4. Tap a name to copy it, or tap the heart to keep it in your favorites. Every result from the Japanese name generator shows the name in Latin letters followed by its kanji, for example *Haruto Sato · 佐藤 陽翔*. The kanji always stand in Japanese order, family name first. The generator draws on 223 female given names, 217 male given names, and 225 family names, all of them real names in use in Japan, which gives more than 99,000 possible full names. In full names, the style picks the given name. For last names, *Popular today* narrows the list to the most common surnames and *Nature* to surnames built from landscape and plant words; *Traditional* changes nothing there, because family names do not go in and out of fashion. ## How the Japanese names are romanized The names use Hepburn romanization, the system found on Japanese passports, written without macrons. In stricter Hepburn, long vowels carry a line: Yūto, Satō, Ōno. Here they appear as Yuto, Sato, and Ono. Vowel length changes the word: Yuki (雪, snow) has a short u and Yūki (勇気, courage) a long one, and 小野 (Ono, “small field”) and 大野 (Ōno, “big field”) are two different family names. The kanji next to each name removes the doubt. Strict Hepburn also puts an apostrophe in names such as Ken’ichi and Shin’ya to show where the syllable ends; like passports, the generator leaves it out. ## Frequently asked questions **Are the names real Japanese names?** Yes. Every given name and family name in the generator is a real name in use in Japan, shown with one common kanji spelling. Because the names are common, many combinations will match a real person somewhere. **What are the most common Japanese last names?** Sato, Suzuki, Takahashi, and Tanaka are the four most common, followed by names such as Ito, Watanabe, Yamamoto, Nakamura, Kobayashi, and Kato. The table on this page lists 40 of them with kanji and meanings. **Is the kanji shown the only way to write the name?** No. Most Japanese given names can be written with several different kanji, and each spelling has its own meaning. The generator shows one common spelling for each name. Family names are more fixed, though some have variants. **Which comes first in Japanese, the family name or the given name?** The family name comes first in Japan, as in Sato Haruto. English text often puts the given name first. The generator offers both orders, and the kanji are always shown in Japanese order. **Why is it Yuto and Sato instead of Yūto and Satō?** The names use Hepburn romanization without macrons, the same style as Japanese passports. Long vowels are often written with a line, as in Yūto, Satō, and Ōno, but here they appear as Yuto, Sato, and Ono. **Can I use the generator for anime or story characters?** Yes. Pick a style, read the kanji meanings in the tables, and choose a name that fits the character. Pairings that match well-known fictional characters are filtered out, and the generator is free with no sign-up. **How do I write my own name in Japanese?** Foreign names are written in katakana, which spells the sound of the name: Emma becomes エマ and Michael becomes マイケル. Choosing kanji for a foreign name is not how names are normally written in Japan. ## Related tools - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Pick one of 10 races, or leave it on *Any race* for a random mix — handy when you need a crowd of NPCs. 3. Set the gender and the format: first and last name, first name only, or a name with a title such as “the Unbroken”. 4. Press Generate for a new batch, tap a name to copy it, and use the heart to keep a shortlist. This DnD character name generator is built from 851 hand-written given names and 404 surnames, clan names and house names, plus sound patterns for each race, so a random DnD name always sounds like it belongs to the people it came from. Nothing here depends on rules, so it works as a DnD 5e name generator and for any other edition or tabletop RPG. ## DnD character names by race The short version, before the details for each race: | Race | How the names sound | How they are built | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Human** | Familiar, medieval European | Given name + trade or place surname | Adela Ashford | | **Elf** | Long, soft, full of vowels | Given name + elvish or nature family name | Aelira Aelrothien | | **Dwarf** | Short, heavy, hard consonants | Given name + clan name (metal or stone + craft) | Baldra Anvilbrand | | **Halfling** | Homely and cheerful | Given name + countryside family name | Amity Applewick | | **Gnome** | Bouncy, playful, lots of z and b | Given name + clan name or nickname | Fizzi Bafflestone | | **Half-orc / orc** | Blunt and guttural | A single name, sometimes + a byname | Gorka Ashmaw | | **Tiefling** | Classical and infernal, or a single virtue word | Infernal name or virtue name + surname | Azra Ashgrave | | **Dragonborn** | Sharp and breathy: kh, zh, rr, sh | Given name + long clan name | Arva Kharvathiax | | **Drow / dark elf** | Elvish, sharpened with z, x and y | Given name + noble house | Vexyra Vel'tharyn | | **Half-elf** | A blend of human and elvish | Human, elvish or mixed name + either surname | Aelis Dawnmere | ## Frequently asked questions **How does the D&D name generator work?** Choose character names, party names, or tavern names, then pick a race, a gender, and a format. Character names are built from hand-written names and sound patterns for each race, so every result fits the people it belongs to. **Which races can I generate DnD names for?** Human, elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, half-orc and orc, tiefling, dragonborn, drow, and half-elf. Leave the race on Any race to get a mix, which is useful for a list of NPCs. **Can it generate DnD party names and tavern names?** Yes. Set the first menu to Party names for adventuring companies, orders, and guilds, or to Tavern & inn names for places such as The Gilded Griffin. **What do DnD last names look like?** It depends on the race. Dwarves use clan names such as Goldvein, halflings use countryside family names such as Applewick, dragonborn use long clan names, and drow use the name of a noble house. Choose First & last name to get them. **What is a tiefling virtue name?** It is a single word, such as Hope or Reverie, that a tiefling chooses as a goal or a warning instead of an inherited name. About one in four tiefling results is a virtue name. **Does this work as a DnD 5e name generator?** Yes. Names are not tied to any rules, so they suit 5e, older and newer editions, and other tabletop RPGs equally well. **Are these official D&D names?** No. Every name is original and written for this tool, and you are free to use them in your own campaign.

The elf name generator draws on 728 hand-written first names and 282 family names, and it also builds new first names from each elf type’s own syllables. Every type has its own sound, so a high elf never gets a dark elf name. ## Female elf names Female elf names tend to end in a vowel or a soft consonant: *-iel*, *-wen*, *-wyn*, *-elle*, *-ara*.

Dark elves use a house name such as Vyrkoth instead. Choose Last name only to see more. **Can I use these names for a D&D elf?** Yes. Pick High elf, Wood elf, Dark elf (for drow), or Half-elf to match your character. The names are original and are not copied from any rulebook, so you can use them freely at your table. **What are good names for an Elf on the Shelf?** Choose Christmas elf for cheerful names such as Jingle McSparkle, Pepper Sugarplum, Tinsel Twinkletoes, or Cocoa Snowpants, plus funny ones like Sir Jingles-a-Lot and Figgy McPudding. There are separate lists for girl, boy, and funny elf names on this page. **Are these Lord of the Rings elf names?** No. Every name is original.

Choose **Cat names** or **Clan names**. 2. Pick a rank. *Warrior* gives a full two-part name; *Leader*, *Apprentice* and *Kit* use the endings -star, -paw and -kit; *Medicine cat* leans toward gentler endings; *Loner / rogue* and *Kittypet* give single names for cats who live outside the clans. 3. Pick a look or nature (dark, pale, ginger, tabby, forest, water, sky, stone, fierce or gentle) so the prefix fits the cat you have in mind. 4. Tap a name to copy it, or ♥ it to keep a shortlist. Generate again for a new list with no repeats. The **warrior cat names** are built from 367 prefixes and 81 suffixes, and there are 219 loner names, 186 kittypet names and 309 clan names besides. Every word was chosen for this tool. Use the results for an original character (OC), a roleplay, a fan story or a drawing. ## What is my warrior cat name? Type your first name into the box above the options and press Generate. The first name in the list is worked out from the letters of your name, so the same name gives the same warrior cat name every time, on any phone or computer. Capital letters, spaces and accents make no difference. Change the rank to see your kit, apprentice and leader names, or pick a look to get the version that matches your cat’s coat. The rest of the list is random, and because the generator never shows a name twice during a visit, your own name appears once for each setting. ## Frequently asked questions **What is my warrior cat name?** Type your first name into the box and press Generate. The first result is worked out from the letters of your name, so the same name always gives the same warrior cat name. Change the rank to see your kit, apprentice and leader names. **How do warrior cat names work?** A clan cat's name has two parts. The prefix is given at birth and stays for life; the ending changes with rank: -kit for kits, -paw for apprentices, a suffix chosen by the leader for warriors, and -star for leaders. **What do warrior cat name suffixes mean?** The books give no official list. Fans usually read -claw and -fang as fighters, -heart as loyal or kind, -leap and -flight as agile, and -fur, -pelt and -tail as neutral endings. These are fan conventions, not rules. **What are good warrior cat name prefixes?** Pick something the mother could see on a newborn kit or find in the territory: a coat color (Ash, Russet, Snow), a pattern (Dapple, Bramble), a plant (Fern, Willow), an animal (Hawk, Otter) or weather (Mist, Storm). **How do I come up with a clan name?** Take one word for the land, the weather or an animal the cats admire and add Clan, written as one word: MistClan, EmberClan, HollowClan. Choose Clan names in the generator for more ideas, and use the look option to match the territory. **Can I use these names for my own character (OC)?** Yes. The names are free to use for original characters, roleplay, fan stories and art. The generator skips the names of the books' own characters and clans; if a result still sounds familiar, look it up before you use it. **Is this an official Warriors name generator?** No. It is an unofficial fan tool and is not affiliated with Erin Hunter or HarperCollins. It uses the naming pattern of the series to make new names and does not list names of characters from the books. ## Related tools - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

A **couple ship name** blends two people’s names into one (Emma + Noah → Emah, Noma, Emmah). A ship name is also simply the **name of a ship**: a boat, a pirate ship, a spaceship, or a Viking longship. 1. For a couple name, type two names in the box — *Emma + Noah*, *Emma & Noah*, *Emma and Noah*, or just *Emma Noah* — and tap Generate. You get the blends that read well, in both orders. 2. For a vessel, open **Generate** and choose boat, pirate ship, spaceship, or Viking ship names. Then pick a **style**: classic, funny, elegant, or fierce. The style setting does not change couple names. 3. Tap a name to copy it. The ♥ keeps it in your favorites. Until you type two names, the couple setting shows examples made from 46 popular name pairs. The vessel names come from 414 hand-picked boat names plus 341 pirate, 555 spaceship, and 163 Viking name parts. ## How couple ship names are made “Shipping” comes from the word *relationship*. Fans who want two characters, or two real people, to be a couple “ship” them, and the pair gets one shared name. That name is a **portmanteau**: a word made by joining the start of one word to the end of another, like *brunch* from breakfast and lunch. Entertainment news does the same with celebrity couples, which is how Brad and Angelina became “Brangelina.” The generator cuts each name where it breaks naturally and joins the pieces in three ways: - **Start + end.** The opening syllable of one name and the closing part of the other: Emma + Noah → Emah. - **Initial swap.** The opening consonants of one name go in front of the other name’s first vowel: Noah + Emma → Nemma. - **Overlap.** When the two names share letters, the blend runs straight through them: Ben + Jennifer → Bennifer. Blends shorter than three letters or longer than fourteen are dropped. A few examples: | Names | Couple ship names | | --- | --- | | **Emma + Noah** | Emah, Noma, Emmah, Emoah | | **Olivia + Liam** | Oliam, Olivam, Oliviam, Liamia | | **Sophia + Jackson** | Jacksophia, Sackson, Jacksia, Sophison | | **Avery + Lucas** | Lucery, Avas, Avucas, Lavery | | **Isabella + Mason** | Mabella, Masabella, Masella, Isabason | | **Mia + Ethan** | Ethia, Mithan, Methan, Miathan | | **Charlotte + Oliver** | Charliver, Olilotte, Chariver, Olivotte | | **Amelia + Elijah** | Amelijah, Amejah, Elilia, Amelah | | **Harper + James** | Harpes, Jarper, Harames, Harmes | | **Evelyn + Benjamin** | Benjalyn, Benjelyn, Evejamin, Evelamin | ## Frequently asked questions **What is a ship name?** It can mean two things. A couple ship name blends two people's names into one, because "ship" is short for relationship. A ship name is also the name of a vessel, such as a boat, a pirate ship, or a spaceship. This generator makes both. **How do I combine two names into a couple ship name?** Type both names in the box, for example Emma + Noah, and tap Generate. The generator joins the start of one name to the end of the other at natural breaks, tries both orders, and shows the blends that are easy to say. **What are some funny ship names?** Most funny boat names are puns: Seas the Day, Knot Working, Pier Pressure, Aboat Time, Anchor Management, and Friend Ship. Choose Boat & ship names and the Funny & puns style for more. **What are good pirate ship names?** Good pirate ship names use "The" plus an adjective and a noun, or an owner and a goal, like The Crimson Serpent or The Widow's Revenge. A real example is Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. **What are some famous ship names?** Famous real ships include the Mayflower, the Santa María, HMS Victory, USS Constitution, HMS Beagle, the Cutty Sark, RMS Titanic, and Shackleton's Endurance. The table on this page gives one fact about each. **Is it bad luck to rename a boat?** An old sailors' superstition says so. Many owners who rename a boat hold a small renaming ceremony first, but there is no rule against choosing a new name. **Is the ship name generator free?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the names you type are not uploaded. ## Related tools - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Add your own name to become the hero. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/superhero-name-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Name generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/superhero-name-generator/?power=fire&name=Alex - `type`: what to generate: hero, team, sidekick, secret (secret identities) (for example `team`) - `power`: power: any, fire, ice, electric, speed, strength, flight, tech, mind, shadow, light, nature, water, cosmic, time, magic (for example `fire`) - `style`: tone: classic, funny, dark, kid (for example `funny`) - `gender`: gender (titles only): any, female, male (for example `female`) - `name`: your name, used in about half the results (max 20 characters) (for example `Alex`) - `n`: how many names: 6, 12, 24 or 48 (for example `24`) ## How to use the superhero name generator 1. Choose what to generate: **superhero names**, **superhero team names**, **sidekick names**, or **secret identities** (the ordinary name your hero uses at the day job). 2. Pick a **power**. This is a superhero name generator based on power: choose fire and you get embers and torches, choose ice and you get frost and glaciers. There are 15 powers, or leave it on *Any power* for a random mix. 3. Pick a **tone**: *classic* (bright, comic-book names), *funny*, *dark & gritty*, or *kid-friendly*. 4. The **gender** option only changes the titles: Lady, Madame, and Queen, or Mister, Sir, and Lord. Captain, Doctor, and Professor work for anyone. 5. Type **your name** if you want to be the hero. About half the results will then use it: Captain Alex, Alex the Unstoppable, The Amazing Alex. 6. Tap a name to copy it, or tap the heart next to it to keep a shortlist. The superhero name generator puts its names together from 450 power words and 332 descriptors, all sorted by power, plus titles, team words, and sidekick words. Every result is a made up superhero name. Names of published heroes are filtered out, so you will not be handed a character that already exists. ## How superhero names are built Nearly every superhero name follows one of a handful of patterns. Once you can see them, you can also build a name by hand, and the generator simply does the same thing faster. | Pattern | How it works | Examples | | --- | --- | --- | | **Title + power word** | A rank or honorific gives the hero authority; the word after it says what the power is. | Captain Ember, Doctor Paradox, Lady Aurora | | **Adjective + power word** | A color or a strong descriptor in front of a noun. Adding “The” makes it sound like a legend. | The Sapphire Squall, The Blazing Phoenix, Glacial Avalanche | | **One compound word** | Two short words joined into a codename that is quick to say and easy to shout. | Emberwing, Frostguard, Tidecaller | | **Power word + role** | The power first, then what the hero does with it. | Comet Sentinel, Thorn Warden, Tempest Knight | | **Alliteration** | Both words start with the same sound. It is the oldest trick in comics because it sticks in the memory. | The Glittering Glacier, Blazing Beacon, Mighty Mountain | | **The secret identity** | A plain, friendly civilian name, very often alliterative as well. | Clara Calloway, Hugo Hawthorne, Nora Newell | A power word on its own (a single noun such as a weather word or an animal) is the simplest pattern of all, and it is also the one most likely to be taken already. That is why the generator always adds a second element or joins two words. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the superhero name generator work?** It combines power words, descriptors, titles, and team or sidekick words that are sorted by power and tone. Choose what you want to generate, pick a power and a tone, and press Generate for a new list each time. **Can I get a superhero name based on my power?** Yes. Choose one of 15 powers, including fire, ice, lightning, speed, strength, flight, tech, mind powers, shadow, light, nature, water, space, time, and magic. The names then use words that fit that power. **Can I make a superhero name from my own name?** Yes. Type your name in the box and about half of the results will include it, for example Captain Alex or Alex the Unstoppable. The rest are regular hero names you can use instead. **Are these real superhero names?** No. They are made up superhero names built from original word combinations, and names of well-known published heroes are filtered out. If you plan to use a name commercially, check first that it is not already a published character or a trademark. **Does it make superhero team names and sidekick names?** Yes. Switch the first option to Superhero team names for names like The Voltaic Vanguards or Comet Squad, or to Sidekick names for names like Kid Ember or Frost Scout. **What does the gender option change?** Only the titles. Female adds titles such as Lady, Madame, and Queen, and Male adds Mister, Sir, and Lord. Titles like Captain, Doctor, and Professor and all the other name patterns are the same for everyone. **Is the superhero name generator free?** Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs in your browser.

Most results will use it, for example as “The Denver Wolves” or “Denver and the Lanterns.” **What makes a good band name?** A good band name is easy to say and spell, easy to find in a search, and fits the music. It should also look right on a poster and a T-shirt, and be free on streaming services and social media. **How do K-pop groups get their names?** Most K-pop group names are short coined words or abbreviations chosen by the label, often with a meaning that is explained when the group debuts. BTS, for example, is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan. The K-pop option generates invented names in the same style. **What are some funny band names?** Try Dad’s Garage Is Full, Our Drummer Is Late, The Awkward Silences, or Three Chords and a Snack.

Each name is either picked from hand-written lists for that people or built from its own syllables, then paired with a family name, clan, title or epithet that fits. **Which races and peoples are included?** Twenty: medieval, Norse, imperial and desert humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, orcs, goblins, giants, merfolk, fae folk, dragon people, undead and necromancers, angels, demons, gods and goddesses, wizards and knights. **What do the styles noble, common, heroic, dark and mystical do?** The style changes the feel of every part of the name. Noble names are longer and may carry a title or a house, common names are short and plain, heroic names suit warriors, dark names suit villains and rogues, and mystical names suit seers and spellcasters. **Can it make fantasy last names and family names?** Yes. Choose the Family / clan name format. Each people follows its own custom: Norse names use the father's name (Haraldsson, Haraldsdottir), dwarves have clans, orcs belong to clans like the Broken Tusk, and fae belong to courts. **Can it generate kingdom, world and guild names?** Yes. Under Generate, choose Kingdoms & worlds for realms named in each people's own sound, or Guilds & orders for knightly orders, mage circles and secret societies. For towns and taverns, use the Town Name Generator. **How do I come up with a good fantasy name?** Give each people its own sounds, start your main characters with different letters, mix short and long names, and say every name out loud. A family name or epithet that hints at where a character comes from does a lot of work. **Do the fantasy names have meanings?** The real names do: Bjorn means bear, Aurelia means golden and Seren means star, and the page has a table of names with their meanings. Invented names are chosen for their sound and have no fixed meaning. **Can I get only female or only male names?** Yes. Set the gender to Female or Male. Leave it on Any for a mixed list. **Can I use these names in my book or game?** Yes. The names are free to use in novels, tabletop games, video games and worldbuilding. The generator skips names that belong to well-known books and games, but search your favorite before you publish to be sure. ## Related tools - [Elf Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/elf-name-generator/): Generate elf names by type — high elf, wood elf, dark elf, half-elf, snow elf, or Christmas elf — with female and male first names and matching elf last names. - [D&D Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/dnd-name-generator/): Generate D&D character names for ten races, with surnames, clan names, or titles, plus party names and tavern names for your campaign. - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Up to two words work: a first and last name (*Mia Jones*), or a name and a hobby (*Mia art*). The generator builds usernames around them, including alliterating ones like *MythicMia*. Leave the box empty for completely new ideas. 2. **Pick a style.** There are 12 of them: cool, cute, aesthetic, funny, gaming, dark and gothic, nature, sci-fi and space, fantasy, professional, made-up words, and random dictionary words. 3. **Choose your platform.** Every result follows that app’s length limit and allowed characters, and the rule line under the options tells you what they are. 4. **Set the length** (short 4–6 characters, medium 7–12, long 13 or more), the **format** (CamelCase, lowercase, under_score or dot.ted) and whether to add **numbers**. 5. If you typed a word, choose where it goes: anywhere, **at the start** or **at the end**. Switch **Make** to *Matching pairs* for two usernames that belong together. 6. Tap a username to copy it. It also drops into the **username rule checker**, which shows at a glance which of 11 platforms accept it. Tap ♥ to keep a shortlist, and press Generate for new ideas; nothing repeats during your visit. The ideas come from 2,565 hand-picked words in 10 style banks, 54 prefixes such as *its*, *lil* and *hello*, 82 endings such as *hq*, *draws* and *studio*, and 65 matching pairs. The funny, nature and Random words styles also mix in everyday words from our English dictionary. Every combination is checked so that no rude word appears, even where two words meet. Everything runs in your browser: what you type is never sent anywhere. ## Username formats: CamelCase, lowercase, underscores and dots The same two words can look calm, bold or tidy depending on how they are joined. All four formats below come from the same idea, so you can compare them side by side: | Format | Example | Good for | | --- | --- | --- | | **CamelCase** | OliveOrchid | Readable at a glance; a capital starts each word. Good for gaming, YouTube and X. | | **lowercase** | oliveorchid | Soft and simple. Popular for aesthetic and cute accounts. | | **under_score** | olive_orchid | Keeps the words apart where periods aren’t allowed. | | **dot.ted** | olive.orchid | Clean and modern. Works on Instagram, TikTok, Discord and in email addresses. | Many apps ignore capital letters when you sign up, so *MossyFern* and *mossyfern* count as the same username. Where an app keeps your capitals, they make a long username easier to read. Periods and underscores are not allowed everywhere: the generator swaps in a symbol the platform accepts, or joins the words without one. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I come up with a good username?** Start with something you like, such as your name, a hobby or an animal, and pair it with a word that fits your style. Keep it short, easy to say out loud and free of personal details like your birth year. **How do I make a username with my name?** Type your first name, or a first and last name, into the box and press Generate. The generator adds matching words, prefixes like its or hey, or endings like draws, and you can choose whether your name goes at the start or the end. **Can this tell me if a username is taken?** No. Only each app knows which names are in use, and this page never sends what you type anywhere. Search for the name in the app or try it on the sign-up screen; if it is taken, add a small word in front, a separator or a number. **How long can a username be?** It depends on the app: up to 30 characters on Instagram, 24 on TikTok, 15 on X and Snapchat, 20 on Reddit and Roblox, and 16 for Minecraft Java names. Pick a platform and every idea fits its limit. **What characters can I use in a username?** Letters and numbers work everywhere. Periods and underscores are allowed on Instagram and TikTok, X and Twitch allow only underscores, and Roblox allows a single underscore. Spaces, accented letters and emoji are not allowed in usernames. **What is a good short username?** Two tiny words (icyfox), a two-letter start plus a word (ohmoon), or a made-up word. Set Length to Short for ideas of 4 to 6 characters, and add a number if your favorite is taken. **How do I make matching usernames with a friend or partner?** Switch Make to Matching pairs. Type both names (Mia Leo) to get one half each, or leave the box empty for pairs that share a word, like calm.dawn and calm.dusk. **What is the difference between a username and a display name?** The username is unique, appears after the @ and must follow the app's rules. The display name is the larger name on your profile; it does not have to be unique and can usually include spaces and symbols. **Is the username generator safe for kids?** Yes. Every word list was chosen by hand to be family-friendly, and every combination is checked so that no rude word appears where two words meet. For privacy, avoid your full name, age, school or city in a username. **Is it free to use these usernames?** Yes. The generator is free with no sign-up, and you can use any idea for social media, games, email or a business. Everything runs in your browser. ## Related tools - [Gamertag Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/gamertag-generator/): Make gamertags in 11 styles for 9 kinds of game, around your own name if you like, with length limits, tasteful extras, plus clan names and clan tags. - [Nickname Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nickname-generator/): Type a name for its traditional nicknames and fresh ideas, or get cute, funny and cool nicknames for partners, friends, family, kids, teams, gamers and pets. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Word Combiner](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-combiner/): Combine lists of words into every pairing, blend two words into a portmanteau (breakfast + lunch = brunch), and explore 1,200 compound words — with real English words marked. - [Random Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/random-word-generator/): Generate random English words from a 58,000-word dictionary — with definitions, difficulty levels, topics, letter and syllable filters, and ready-made modes for Pictionary, charades, writing prompts, songs, and vocabulary. - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Choose what to make: **Gamertags**, **Clan & squad names** or **Clan tags** (a short tag in brackets with the clan name it came from). 2. Pick a **style**. There are 11 of them, from cool, fierce and sweaty to funny, cute and anime-inspired. *Mix of styles* shuffles them all together. 3. Pick a **game type** if you like. The words of that kind of game are mixed into the style, so a fierce racing tag and a fierce fantasy tag sound different. 4.

Add an **extra** if you want one: numbers, the xX…Xx frame, l33t speak, an underscore or space between words, a symbol such as ツ, or a clan tag in front. 6.

The word comes from Xbox Live, Microsoft's online service, and today people use it for any gaming name or in-game name. **What should my gamertag be?** Start with something you like, such as an animal, a color or a word from your favorite kind of game, and let the generator combine it. Pick a tag that is easy to say in voice chat, 12 characters or fewer, and free of your real name, age and location. **How long can an Xbox gamertag be?** Xbox gamertags can be up to 12 characters, using letters, numbers and spaces. Choose Xbox under Length / platform and every suggestion fits that limit. **Why does my Xbox gamertag have numbers at the end?** Xbox adds a number suffix after a # sign when someone else already has the same gamertag. To get a gamertag without the numbers, pick a name nobody else is using. **What is an OG gamertag?** An OG gamertag is a short, clean tag with no numbers or decoration, usually a single real word. Choose the Clean / OG style, or 3, 4 or 5 letters, for tags in that spirit. **What is a sweaty or tryhard gamertag?** Sweaty or tryhard gamertags look like they belong to a ranked grinder: a short crisp word, an x in place of a vowel (Nxva), itz or iam in front, often all lowercase. The Sweaty / tryhard style makes them. **Can I use symbols in my gamertag?** Many games accept symbols such as ツ or ☆ in display names, but Xbox gamertags and PlayStation Online IDs do not. Choose Symbols under Extras with Any length, and the generator leaves them off for Xbox and PlayStation. **What are some funny gamer names?** Funny gamertags put a serious gaming word next to something harmless, like TacticalPossum, NoScopeGrandma or ToasterWithWifi. Choose the Funny style for hundreds more, all family-friendly. **How do I make a clan tag?** Choose Clan tags and the generator makes a short tag from each clan name: a short first word like ZERO, the consonants of a longer word (Viper becomes VPR), or the initials of a three-word name. Two to four capital letters are easiest to read. **Are these gamertags free to use?** Yes. The generator is free with no sign-up, runs in your browser, and every tag is original. Only the platform can tell you whether a tag is still available, so check before you settle on one. ## Related tools - [Username Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/username-generator/): Username ideas in 12 styles, built around your name if you like, sized for 11 platforms’ rules, with short names, matching pairs and a rule checker for any username. - [Team Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/team-name-generator/): Funny and clever team names for fantasy football, ten sports from soccer to pickleball, work, trivia and kids’ teams, built around your own city or words if you like. - [Nickname Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/nickname-generator/): Type a name for its traditional nicknames and fresh ideas, or get cute, funny and cool nicknames for partners, friends, family, kids, teams, gamers and pets. - [Japanese Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/japanese-name-generator/): Generate real Japanese names in romaji and kanji — full names, first names, or last names, in popular, traditional, and nature styles, in either name order. - [Fantasy Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fantasy-name-generator/): Fantasy names for 20 peoples and roles in five styles, with first names, last names, clans and epithets, plus names for kingdoms, worlds and guilds. - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

Press Generate. A card shows the traditional nicknames for the name, and the list below it adds new ideas: friendly forms, sweet and silly versions, rhymes, initials and, with a last name, the kind of nickname teammates use. 2. **For a kind of nickname,** open the *Nicknames* menu and pick one of the 24 types: for a boyfriend or girlfriend, couples, best friends, group chats, brothers and sisters, twins, kids, mom, dad, grandparents, funny, cool, boyish, unisex, sporty, gamer, coworkers, pets or cars.

Accents are welcome: José and Zoë work as well as Joe and Zoe. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. ## Nicknames from your name: the kinds of ideas you get A good nickname usually comes from the name itself. These are the patterns the generator uses, from the traditional to the silly: | Kind | How it works | Examples | | --- | --- | --- | | **Traditional** | The short forms a name has always had. | William → Will, Bill, Billy, Liam, Wills | | **Friendly -y and -ie** | A short form plus -y or -ie, the classic English pet-name ending. | Sam → Sammy, Kate → Katie, Madison → Maddie | | **Sweet** | A soft word after the friendly form. | Izzy Bear, Billy Boo, Katie Bug | | **Playful endings** | Big, silly endings for friends and teammates. | Samster, Maxinator, Bellazilla | | **Alliteration** | A kind or funny word that starts with the same sound. Sound, not spelling: Phil gets an F word, Cecilia an S word. | Jolly Jack, Fearless Phil, Sunny Cecilia | | **Rhymes** | A word that rhymes with the name or its pet form. | Silly Billy, Fancy Nancy, Handy Andy, Kate the Great | | **Doubles** | The first syllable twice, or a rhyming echo. | JoJo, LuLu, Tommy Wommy | | **Initials** | The first letter, or both initials when you type a last name. | J-Train, T-Bird, Big CJ | | **Last-name nicknames** | The team and school habit of shortening a surname. | Smith → Smithy, Smitty; Thompson → Thommo | Names with no traditional nickname, such as Noah, Ava or Wyatt, still get plenty of ideas from the other patterns. If a name is itself a nickname, the card tells you which names it is short for: type Bill and you will see William, along with Will, Billy and Liam. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I get a nickname from my name?** Type your name, keep 'From a name' selected and press Generate. A card lists the traditional nicknames for the name (Elizabeth gives Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Betsy, Eliza, Betty and Libby), and the list below adds new ideas such as friendly -y forms, rhymes, alliteration and initials. **What is a nickname for William?** The traditional nicknames for William are Will, Bill, Billy, Liam and Wills. The generator adds playful ones too, such as Silly Billy and Willster. **Why is Bob a nickname for Robert?** Medieval English speakers liked to make rhyming versions of short names, so Rob became Bob and Hob, Will became Bill, and Meg became Peg. Many of these rhyming nicknames are still in use today. **What are cute nicknames for a boyfriend?** Classic picks are Honey, Babe, Bear and Sweetheart, and playful ones include Captain Cuddles, Mr. Wonderful and Snuggle Bear. Choose 'For a boyfriend / husband' in the generator for hundreds more, and type his name to get personal ones like Sammy Bear. **What are cute nicknames for a girlfriend?** Popular ones include Sunshine, Angel, Princess, Cupcake and Peach, as well as pet names from other languages such as mon cœur (French) and mi vida (Spanish). Choose 'For a girlfriend / wife' for more. **What are good nicknames for best friends?** Bestie, Partner-in-Crime, Ride or Die and Sidekick are favorites, and pairs like Peanut Butter to My Jelly are fun for two. The generator also has a list of funny group chat names. **What are some cool nicknames for guys that start with J?** Jax, Jace, Jett, Jolt, Javelin, Justice, Jester, Juke and Jackpot are a few. Choose 'Cool, for guys' and set 'Starts with' to J for more; the letter filter works for every type. **What do grandkids call their grandparents?** Popular grandma names include Nana, Gigi, Mimi and Grammy, and grandpa names include Pop-Pop, Gramps and Papa. Many families use a name from their heritage, such as Oma and Opa (German and Dutch) or Nonna and Nonno (Italian). **Where does the word nickname come from?** It comes from the Middle English 'an eke name', meaning an extra name.

Say it out loud the way a host would announce you, and search it before you use it. **What's my rap name?** Type your first name into the box and press Generate.

Type initials like J.T. for names such as Lil J.T. or Jay Tee, or type one letter to get names that start with it or are built around it. **What does Lil mean in rap names?** Lil is short for little. It often marks a younger artist, the youngest member of a crew, or someone who looks up to an older rapper, and it is one of the most common prefixes in rap. **What does MC stand for?** MC stands for master of ceremonies.

With *Any style*, every name stays in one style, so a dark lord never gets a robot’s title. Everything runs in your browser, and a name never comes up twice during a visit. Every name is original. The generator checks each result against a list of famous villains, evil organizations and lairs from comics, films, books and games, and skips anything that matches, so you can use the names for your own stories, games, comics and costumes. ## What’s my villain name? Type your first name (or your first and last name) and press Generate. The first result is worked out from the letters of your name and your settings, so the same name always gives the same answer: that is **your villain name**. The other results build on your name in different ways: a title in front (Doctor Maya), a darker version of your name with a sinister ending (Jordan becomes Jordax or Jordessa), an alliterating adjective, a grand surname, or a Baron Von in front of your last name. Change the *Generate* option to find your villain epithet, your organization and your secret lair. | Your name | Villain name | With an epithet | Organization | Lair | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Jordan** | Archmage Jordan | Jordoth the Velvet-Gloved | The Jordan Legion | Jordan Keep | | **Maya** | Maya Steele | Mayavex, Destroyer of the Harbor | The Maya Hegemony | the Mayalith Bunker | | **Alex** | Doctor Alex Von Kessel | Alex the Electrified | The Alezar Program | Alex Hall | | **Sam** | Admiral Sam | Sam the Unmasked | The Samoth Brotherhood | Castle Samax | | **Riley** | Riley the Unmasked | Commander Riley the Unbeatable | The Riley Directorate | the Riley Workshop | With the gender on Any, a typed name only gets titles and endings that suit anyone. Choose Female or Male for titles like Baroness and Duchess or Baron and Duke. ## Frequently asked questions **What's my villain name?** Type your name into the box and press Generate. The first result is worked out from the letters of your name, so the same name always gives the same villain name; the others add a title, a darker version of your name or an epithet. **What makes a good villain name?** Sharp sounds (K, X, V, Z and hissing S), a title that shows power such as Baroness or Doctor, and a word that hints at the villain's powers. It should also be easy for the hero to shout. **What are some good female villain names?** Choose Female for titles like Baroness, Countess, Duchess and Empress and names such as Morwenna, Malvessa and Seraphine. Poisonous plant names like Belladonna, Hemlock and Oleander are a classic choice. **What is a villain epithet?** An epithet is a descriptive phrase that goes with a name, like the Merciless or Devourer of Stars. Choose Names with epithets to get villain names in both forms. **Can it name a villain team or organization?** Yes. Choose Villain organizations for secret societies, syndicates, covens, armadas and companies, or Lairs & hideouts for the place where they meet. **Are these names from comics or movies?** No. Every name is original, and the generator skips names that match famous villains, evil organizations and lairs from comics, films, books and games. **Are there villain names for kids?** Yes. The Kids & cartoon style gives silly villains like crayon snatchers and cookie gobblers, and the Funny style turns everyday annoyances into villains. Both are family-friendly. **Where does the word villain come from?** It comes from Old French vilain and Late Latin villanus, a farmhand on a country estate. Over the centuries the meaning slid from peasant to scoundrel. **Is the villain name generator free?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, it runs in your browser, and you can use the names for stories, games, comics and costumes. ## Related tools - [Superhero Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/superhero-name-generator/): Pick a power and a tone to get original superhero names, team names, sidekick names, and secret identities.

Names that belong to well-known books, films and games are filtered out, so what you get is free to use for a novel, a tabletop campaign, a video game or a school project. ## Fantasy town names by style Here are ten **fantasy town names** for each style, made by the generator above. Choose the style in the tool for hundreds more. ### Medieval and English-style town names Old English endings like -ford, -bury and -wick, with market crosses, village greens and river names. - Larkhurst - Honeyfield - Long Candlecote - Market Chalkford - Haybridge St Mary - Fernbridge St Mary - Heatherbourne Cross - Marshleigh - Thistlebrook - Whitesham St Mary ### Viking and Nordic town names Norse roots with -by, -vik, -heim and -fjord, plus the Norwegian prefixes Nordre, Søndre, Ytre and Indre. - Gransund - Kaldsnes - Vikshavn - Skallund Ness - Galesvang - Isvik - Bjornby Ness - Svartrud - Hvitfjord - Ulfdal ### Elven town names Soft, flowing syllables, glades and spires; the cities come with a poetic title. - Aerondel - Ysilethil Hollow - Crystalethil - Celesaris Glade - Lirthil - Anwelle - Moonvale - Faeth - Liraris Glade - Lirira Hollow ### Dwarven town names Stone, ore and forge words with holds, deeps, vaults and halls under the mountain. - Durnhelm - Coppervault Deep - Lower Coaldeep - Boulderdun - Gemthal - Bronzedelve - Lower Ornhelm - Runevault Deep - Haldvault - Lower Grakhold ### Coastal and port town names Harbors, coves, quays and headlands, and the English habit of adding -on-Sea. - Brineport - Gullharbor - Marinersound - Beaconport - Port Anchorstrand - Heronmouth - Gullpoint - Vikshore - Stormquay-on-Sea - Pearlport ### Mountain town names Passes, crests, ridges and high meadows for towns above the tree line. - Pinecrag - Whitecrag - Pineton Heights - Spruce Ridge - Upper Windcrest - Cragridge - Gentian Pass - Elkwatch - Cloudcote - Juniper Pass ### Desert town names Wells, oases, dunes and caravan cities. - Ramiaran - Redsands - Siennakesh Oasis - Keshzar - Khar Ruhn - Sirr Oasis - Amberakh - Qarsands - Nararim - Kesh Wells ### Spooky and dark town names Marshes, barrows, hollows and gloom for haunted villages and cursed cities. - Nettlemarsh - Shademourn Hollow - Nettlegloom Hollow - Old Thornmere - Svartheim - Rookend - Shiverhold - Old Dreadwick - Old Nightmarsh - Fogfell Hollow ### Old West and frontier town names Gulches, springs and crossings, forts, and towns named after their founders. - Wolf Canyon - Silver Spur - Fort Prospect - Wolf's Rest - Fort Copper - Dust Gulch - Fort McCall - Fort Sycamore - Lonefalls - McCallville ### Sci-fi colony and space station names Hopeful colony names, real star names with roman numerals, and outposts with numbers. - Port Lumen - Vesper - New Providence - Regulus VII - New Promise - New Aurora - Algol Yards - Camp Resolve - Port Solace - Sunfield Relay ### Cute and cozy town names Honey, clover and teacup villages for a cozy game, a picture book or a gentle story. - Buttondale - Thimble Village - Apple Dell - Otter Corner - Little Bunnyhill - Fern Corner - Button Brook - Toffeehill - Apple Grove - Plum Springs ### Japanese town names Real Japanese place-name parts such as -yama (mountain), -kawa (river) and -shima (island). - Morisawa - Fujibashi - Higashiishi - Mizudera - Minamizaki - Tsukidera - Haruda - Kiyohashi - Fujibara - Yoshiyama ### French town names Beau-, Belle- and Mont- compounds, saints’ names and towns -sur- a real French river. - Granderoche-sur-Mer - Champneuf-sur-Yonne - Saint-Brieuc - Saint-Germain-de-Villeneuve - Clairlieu - Champfort-sur-Mer - Saint-Médard - Boisfort-les-Bains - Hautefontaine-les-Bains - Hautval ### German town names -burg, -dorf, -heim and -hausen, spa towns with Bad, and towns on the Rhine or the Elbe. - Kirchborn am See - Bad Lindenberg - Erlenfurt - Bad Waldtal - Birkenstadt - Falkenbrunn - Rosenhausen - Kaltenheim am See - Eschenrode - Dachsberg ### Spanish town names San and Santa towns, Villanueva-style names, and nouns with adjectives that agree. - Los Nogales - San Andrés - San Benito - San Agustín - Paso del Mar - Villadorada - San Lorenzo del Llano - San Lorenzo - San Ignacio - Santa Catalina ## Frequently asked questions **How do I come up with a town name?** Start with the land: a river crossing, a hill, a harbor or a clearing. Add the ending that describes it, like -ford, -hurst, -port or -ley, to a tree, an animal or a color. The generator does this in 15 styles, and you can type a founder's name to build names around it. **What do town name endings like -by, -thorpe and -ford mean?** -by is Old Norse for a farmstead or village, -thorpe an outlying farm, -ford a river crossing, and -chester a Roman fort or walled town. The page has tables of English, Welsh, Scottish, German, French, Spanish and Japanese place-name parts with real examples. **What is a good name for a fantasy town?** It depends on the people who live there. Kettlewick sounds like an English market town, Hvitfjord like a Viking harbor and Deepdelve like a dwarven hold. Pick a style in the generator to keep a whole region consistent. **Can I name a town after a person?** Yes. Type the founder's name or any word in the box and about half the results will use it, for example Millerford, Fort Miller, Saint-Miller or the Kingdom of Millerland. **Can it make Japanese, French, German or Spanish town names?** Yes. These styles use real place-name parts, such as -yama (mountain) and -kawa (river) in Japanese, -sur-Mer in French, -burg and -dorf in German, and San, Santa and Villanueva-style names in Spanish. **What is the longest town name in the world?** The longest town name in Europe belongs to a village in Wales with 58 letters, usually shortened to Llanfairpwll. The longest place name of all is the 85-letter Maori name of a hill in New Zealand. **What are some funny town names in America?** Real examples include Boring (Oregon), Why (Arizona), Truth or Consequences (New Mexico), Peculiar (Missouri) and Two Egg (Florida). The page lists more, with where they are and how some got their names. **Can it name kingdoms, taverns and landmarks too?** Yes. Choose Kingdoms & realms, Mountains, lakes & forests, or Taverns & inns. Some styles have their own inns, such as French auberges, German Gasthaus names and Japanese ryokan. **Is it free to use the names?** Yes. The generator is free with no sign-up, and the names are yours to use for stories, games, events and anything else. Everything runs in your browser. Names from well-known books, films and games are filtered out. ## Related tools - [Fantasy Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fantasy-name-generator/): Fantasy names for 20 peoples and roles in five styles, with first names, last names, clans and epithets, plus names for kingdoms, worlds and guilds. - [D&D Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/dnd-name-generator/): Generate D&D character names for ten races, with surnames, clan names, or titles, plus party names and tavern names for your campaign. - [Last Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/last-name-generator/): Generate random last names by origin, from common American and Japanese surnames to fantasy, noble, and medieval ones, alone or paired with a first name. - [Dragon Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/dragon-name-generator/): Generate dragon names by element, gender and age, with epic titles, last names and real-word meanings, plus three-headed dragons, cute dragons and bearded dragon names. - [Elf Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/elf-name-generator/): Generate elf names by type — high elf, wood elf, dark elf, half-elf, snow elf, or Christmas elf — with female and male first names and matching elf last names. - [Character Name Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/character-name-generator/): Generate first and last names for the characters in your story.

A **superscript generator** turns the characters you type into small raised ones, like the ² in x² or the ˢᵗ in 1ˢᵗ. The result is superscript text made of real Unicode characters, not formatting, so you can copy and paste it into places that have no superscript button: an Instagram bio, a Discord message, a form field, a file name. ## How to use it 1. Type your text the normal way, for example x2 or 10 m2. 2. For exponents, use the first row, **Numbers only (exponents)**. It raises the digits and leaves everything else alone, so x2 becomes x² and E = mc2 becomes E = mc². 3. Tap the row, or its **Copy** button, and paste the result where you need it. The second row, **Tiny (Superscript)**, raises everything you give it. The sample `E = mc2 and x2 + y2` comes out as ᵉ ⁼ ᵐᶜ² ᵃⁿᵈ ˣ² ⁺ ʸ² there, with every character raised. That is right for tiny text and wrong for a formula, where only the exponent should be small. Two more rows sit underneath. **Small Caps** gives small capitals that stay on the line (numbers and signs are left alone), and **Subscript** gives the lowered version of whatever you typed. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I type the squared symbol on a phone?** The quickest way is to copy ² from this page and paste it. If you use it often, save it as a text shortcut in your phone's keyboard settings so that typing a short code inserts it. **Why is there no superscript q?** The raised letters were added to Unicode a few at a time for phonetic notation, not as a complete alphabet, and no raised q is widely supported by the fonts on phones and computers. The tool leaves q at normal size so it never turns into an empty box. **Can I make superscript capital letters?** Not with this tool. Unicode has raised forms for only some capital letters, so capitals are converted to the lowercase superscript set. Typing TM gives ᵗᵐ. If you need raised capitals, use the superscript formatting in Word or Google Docs. **Is superscript text the same as tiny text?** Yes. What tiny text generators produce is the superscript letters used for whole words, such as ᵗⁱⁿʸ ᵗᵉˣᵗ. They sit above the line and are smaller than normal letters. **Will a spreadsheet calculate with superscript numbers?** No. A superscript digit is a text character, so 5² in a cell is treated as text, not as 25. Use the caret for calculations, as in =5^2, and keep superscript characters for labels and headings. **What is the difference between superscript and subscript?** Superscript sits above the line, as in x² or 10⁶, and is used for exponents, footnote markers and ordinals. Subscript sits below the line, as in H₂O, and is used for chemical formulas and numbered variables. **Can I use superscript in an Instagram bio or username?** In the bio and the name field, yes. The @username only accepts plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods, so superscript characters are rejected there. **How do I write 1st, 2nd or 3rd with raised letters?** Type only the letters (st, nd, rd or th), copy the superscript result and paste it after the number: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ. If you type the number as well, it is raised too. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Subscript Generator > Turn numbers and letters into small lowered characters for chemical formulas like H₂O and CO₂ or math like x₁, ready to copy and paste. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/subscript-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/subscript-generator/?text=H2O - `text`: text to convert; type a formula the normal way (H2O, CO2) and the first row lowers only the digits (H₂O, CO₂) (for example `H2O`) ## What is a subscript generator? A **subscript generator** turns the characters you type into small ones that sit below the line, like the ₂ in H₂O or the ₁ in x₁. The result is subscript text made of real Unicode characters, not formatting. You can copy and paste it into places with no subscript button, such as a social media caption, a chat message or a form field. ## How to use it 1. Type your text the normal way, for example H2O or CO2. 2. For a formula, use the first row, **Numbers only (formulas)**. It lowers the digits and leaves the letters alone, so H2O becomes H₂O and CO2 becomes CO₂. 3. Tap the row, or its **Copy** button, and paste the result where you need it. The second row, **Subscript**, lowers every character that has a subscript form, letters included. The sample `H2O and CO2` comes out as ₕ₂ₒ ₐₙd Cₒ₂ there: the h, o, a and n drop down, while C and d, which have no subscript form, stay full size. That row is for tiny lowered text, not for formulas. The third row, **Tiny (Superscript)**, gives the raised version of the same text. You need it for ion charges such as Ca²⁺, where the charge goes above the line. ## Frequently asked questions **Why does my whole formula turn small when I type H2O?** The tool lowers every character that has a subscript form, and that includes the letters h and o. For a chemical formula, type only the number, copy the subscript digit and paste it after the element symbol, or copy a finished formula such as H₂O from the table on this page. **How do I type a subscript 2 on a phone?** Copy ₂ from this page and paste it where you need it. If you write formulas often, save it as a text shortcut in your phone's keyboard settings so that a short code inserts it. **Can I write whole words in subscript?** Only if every letter is one of the 17 that exist in subscript: a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v and x. Other letters stay normal size, so most words come out uneven. For full words, use the subscript formatting in Word or Google Docs. **How do I write an ion charge like Ca2+?** Charges are superscripts, not subscripts: Ca²⁺. Use the superscript row of the tool for the charge and the subscript row for atom counts. The sulfate ion needs both: SO₄²⁻. **What is the difference between subscript and superscript?** Subscript sits below the line, as in H₂O or x₁, and is used for atom counts, numbered variables and number bases. Superscript sits above the line, as in x², and is used for exponents, footnotes and ordinals. **Can I use subscript in an Instagram bio, a Discord message or WhatsApp?** Yes. Those apps have no subscript button, but the characters from this tool are plain Unicode text and can be pasted into bios, captions and messages. They do not work in @usernames, which only accept plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods. **Is it wrong to write H2O without a subscript?** Everyone understands H2O, and it is common where subscripts are hard to type. The correct notation is H₂O, with the 2 lowered, and school work and scientific writing are expected to use it. **Will a spreadsheet calculate with subscript numbers?** No. Subscript digits are text characters, not numbers, so a cell containing them is treated as text. Use them for labels and headings and keep normal digits for anything you calculate with. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Old English Font Generator > Write your text in real Old English (blackletter) fonts and download it as a PNG for tattoos, shirts, and logos — or copy and paste Old English letters into any app. Full alphabet and numbers included. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/old-english-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/old-english-text-generator/?text=Stay+Gold&effect=outline&color=gold&bg=black - `text`: text to set in blackletter (up to 200 characters; %0A starts a second line) (for example `Stay Gold`) - `tab`: font (font images, downloadable PNG) or copy (copy-and-paste Unicode styles) (for example `font`) - `effect`: font-image effect: solid, outline, double, shadow, 3d, glow, distressed, split (for example `outline`) - `color`: font-image color: black, red, gold, navy, white (for example `gold`) - `bg`: font-image background: none (transparent), white, parchment, black (for example `black`) ## What is an Old English font generator? An **Old English font generator** writes your words in ornate **blackletter** — the dramatic medieval lettering you see on diplomas, newspaper mastheads, jerseys, and tattoos. This one gives you two kinds of results from the same text: - **Font images:** your text set in five real blackletter fonts. Choose a color, a background, and an effect — outline, double line, shadow, 3D, glow, distressed, or split — and download a high-resolution PNG for printing, stencils, shirts, logos, and tattoo designs. - **Copy & paste:** Old English letters made of Unicode characters, which keep their look when you paste them into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, or a bio — no font install needed. ## How to use it 1. Type a word, name, or short phrase. Press Enter for a second line. 2. On **Font images**, compare the five styles, pick a color, background, and effect, and tap **Download PNG**. Tap **A–Z sheet** to download the whole alphabet in that font. 3. On **Copy & paste**, tap **Copy** next to any of the 14 styles and paste it wherever you like. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I write in an Old English font?** Type your text and it appears in five real blackletter fonts. Pick a color and background and tap Download PNG — or switch to Copy & paste for Old English letters you can paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. **Can I use the Old English font for a tattoo?** Yes. Download a transparent PNG in black and give it to your tattoo artist. Write names with one capital and small letters — blackletter capitals in a row are hard to read — and keep fine lettering large enough not to blur. **Are there Old English numbers?** Not in copy-and-paste text: Unicode has blackletter letters but no blackletter digits. The Font images tab includes matching numbers 0–9 in every font, so use it for dates and numbers. **Is this the same as the Old English Text MT font?** Old English Text MT is a commercial Monotype font bundled with Microsoft Office. This generator uses free, open-source blackletter fonts with a similar look, and the images you make can be used in personal and commercial projects. **Does it translate into the Old English language?** No — it changes the letter shapes, not the language. The Old English language of Beowulf was written in a different script with letters like þ (thorn) and ð (eth). **Why don't the copied letters show in some apps?** Copy & paste styles use Unicode fraktur characters, which almost every modern app supports. A few older apps or fonts may miss some — try the bold style, or use a Font image instead. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Gothic Text Generator > Turn your text into gothic letters — 14 copy-and-paste styles with crosses, daggers, roses, and wings — or download it in five real gothic fonts as a PNG. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/gothic-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/gothic-text-generator/?text=Midnight - `text`: text to set in blackletter (up to 200 characters; %0A starts a second line) (for example `Midnight`) - `tab`: font (font images, downloadable PNG) or copy (copy-and-paste Unicode styles) (for example `font`) - `effect`: font-image effect: solid, outline, double, shadow, 3d, glow, distressed, split (for example `outline`) - `color`: font-image color: black, red, gold, navy, white (for example `gold`) - `bg`: font-image background: none (transparent), white, parchment, black (for example `black`) ## What is a gothic text generator?

Switch to Font images to download your text in five real gothic fonts as a PNG. **What is the difference between gothic and Old English text?** Both are blackletter. 'Old English' usually means the tall textura style; 'gothic' is used more loosely for any dark blackletter, including rounder fraktur. **Is Century Gothic a gothic font?** No. In 19th-century American type naming, 'gothic' meant plain sans-serif letters, so Century Gothic and Franklin Gothic look nothing like medieval blackletter. **Can I get gothic numbers?** Unicode has no gothic digits, so copied text keeps normal (or bold) numbers. Use the Font images tab — every gothic font there has matching numbers 0–9. **Where can I use gothic text?** Instagram and TikTok bios, Discord names, band and gaming tags, and anywhere plain formatting isn't available. The PNG images work for logos, shirts, posters, and tattoo designs. **Is it free?** Yes — completely free and private.

Six styles. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/italic-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/italic-text-generator/?text=I+never+said+that - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `I never said that`) ## What is an italic text generator? An **italic text generator** replaces each letter you type with a slanted Unicode character. Type “I never said that” and you get 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵. People also search for it as an italic font generator or italics font generator, but no font is involved. Every italic letter is a character of its own from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, where italics are used for variables in formulas. Because the slant is part of the character, it survives copy and paste. That is what makes italicized text possible in an Instagram bio, a post on X or a LinkedIn post, none of which has an italics button. ## How to make italic text to copy and paste 1. Type or paste your text in the box. Only type the words you want in italics. 2. Pick one of the six styles. They all update as you type. 3. Tap the style, or its **Copy** button. 4. Paste it into your post, bio or message, next to your normal text. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the difference between italic and cursive text?** Italic is slanted type, like 𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐 𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡. Cursive imitates joined-up handwriting, like 𝒾𝓉𝒶𝓁𝒾𝒸 𝓉ℯ𝓍𝓉. This page has both, and the Cursive Text Generator has more handwriting styles. **What is the difference between italic and oblique?** Oblique letters are the upright shapes tilted to one side. True italics are drawn separately and often have different shapes, such as a single-story a. Serif typefaces usually have true italics, while many sans-serif typefaces use obliques. **Should I italicize a title or put it in quotation marks?** Most style guides italicize the titles of long, standalone works such as books, films, albums and newspapers, and use quotation marks for shorter works such as songs, poems, articles and episodes. If you write for a school or publication, follow its style guide. **Can I italicize just one word?** Yes. Type only that word in the generator, copy it, and paste it into your sentence in place of the plain word, as in "That was 𝘯𝘰𝘵 the plan". **How do I get an italic name on Discord?** Discord's Markdown italics (*text* or _text_) only work in messages. For an italic display name, server nickname or channel name, copy italic characters from this page and paste them into the name field. **Why do accented letters like é stay upright?** Unicode's italic alphabets only cover the 26 basic letters. Accented letters, digits and punctuation have no italic versions, so the generator leaves them as you typed them. **Do italic characters work in hashtags?** No. A hashtag written in italic characters is not recognized as a hashtag and will not appear in searches for the plain word. Keep hashtags, @mentions and links in normal letters. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Cursed Text Generator > Make creepy, cursed-looking text in six spooky styles, from light glitch to heavy, upside down and whispered, then copy and paste it into posts and names. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursed-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursed-text-generator/?text=something+is+wrong&strength=8&marks=below - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `something is wrong`) - `strength`: how glitchy the 'Make it your own' result is: a number from 1 (subtle) to 20 (chaos); default 6 (for example `8`) - `marks`: where the marks go in the 'Make it your own' result: any of above, through, below, comma-separated; default all three (for example `below`) ## What does “cursed” mean online? Online, **cursed** describes something that is unsettling on purpose, or wrong in a way that is hard to put into words. The word spread with “cursed images”: odd photos that leave you uneasy without showing anything truly frightening. From there it stuck to anything that feels off, from cursed comments to cursed pizza toppings. **Cursed text** is writing with that mood. You can still read the letters, but they look haunted, with marks growing out of the top and bottom of every one. People also call it creepy text, scary text, demon text or void text. It looks like this: s͇̼̱̦͒͝o̶̫͗͌́͢m̵̪̟̔̉ͮe̮̣̘̍̂ͧt̺̯̤̙͐ͅḩ̲̜̽̑̆i̶ͭ͗͌́͢n̹̮̣̘̍̂g̻̰̥͑͆̚ í̶̫̠̊̕š̸̢̭̗́ w̺̯ͦ͛͐ͅr̶̫̠͌́̕ò͚ͥ͏̹̈́n̶̫͗͌́͢g͙͎̊ͯͤ̓ ## How to make cursed text 1. Type your words into the box. Short works best: a name, a title, a single line. 2. Scroll to the six ready-made styles and tap the one you like. That copies it, ready to paste. 3. To shape it yourself, use the **Make it your own** panel. The **How glitchy** slider runs from 1 (subtle) to 20 (chaos), and three checkboxes, **Above**, **Through** and **Below**, choose where the marks go. 4. Tap **Shuffle** for a different random set of marks, and **Copy** when it looks right. Two settings are worth trying for a spooky look, both at strength 8: - **Below only** makes the letters drip: c̮̣̰͔̭ͅu̼̯̘̰̯̱r͔̯͙̱̼͉̣̖s͇̠̼̣͙̬̰e̤̘̳͎̞̠͖͈d̲͔̞͕͎̰̦ - **Above only** looks like smoke rising off them: c̀̇̋ͪ͆̌u͆̀̄̏̀̏rͪ́ͮ̏͆ͦ̇̍sͣ͑͛̇ͭ̂̋ë̅̔ͨ̐͑ͬͤd̓ͪ̐ͫͨ̋͊ ## Frequently asked questions **What is void text?** Void text is another name for cursed text: letters carrying so many stacked marks that they seem to dissolve. Use the Heavy Glitch style, or push the slider toward 20, to get the look. **What is demon text?** Demon text is a nickname for the same effect, usually in its heavier form. It is ordinary text with stacked accent marks and has no hidden meaning. **Is cursed text safe to copy and paste?** Yes. It is plain Unicode text and cannot carry a virus or run code. The only real risk is annoying people, so keep it short in shared chats. **How do I make cursed text easier to read?** Use the Light Glitch style, or lower the slider to 3 or less. Unticking Above or Below also helps, because the marks then stay on one side of the letters. **Can I use cursed text for Discord nicknames and role names?** Yes, both take pasted Unicode text. Keep to the light styles, since names appear small in the member list. Discord usernames themselves only allow plain lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods. **Will cursed text show up on every phone?** The styles use ordinary letters with stacked accent marks, which current phones display. A very old device, or an app that strips combining marks, may show the text plain. **How do I turn cursed text back into normal text?** For a word or two, delete it and type it again. For longer text the combining marks have to be stripped out, which the Zalgo Text Generator page explains. **Can I make cursed text red or dripping?** No. Cursed text is made of characters, so the app you paste into decides its color and typeface. For colored or dripping letters you need a real horror font in a design program. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Weird Text Generator > Turn your text into 14 weird styles, from faux Russian and currency letters to leet and glitch, then copy and paste the one you like. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/weird-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/weird-text-generator/?text=weird+text - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `weird text`) ## What is a weird text generator? A **weird text generator** rewrites what you type using characters that look like the letters A to Z but aren't. Type `weird text` and you get ШЄІЯD ТЄХТ, 山乇丨尺ᗪ ㄒ乇乂ㄒ, ₩ɆłⱤĐ ₮ɆӾ₮ and eleven more versions. Each one is ordinary text, so you can copy it and paste it into a bio, a display name or a chat. In other words, it is a **Unicode text converter**, not an image maker or a font. ## How to use it 1. Type or paste your text in the box (up to 1,000 characters). 2. All 14 styles update as you type. Scroll through them. 3. Tap a style, or its **Copy** button, and paste the result wherever you want it. Short text works best. A name or a few words still reads at a glance; a full paragraph does not. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I use weird text in my Instagram, TikTok or Discord username?** Not in the @username itself, which only accepts plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Weird text works in the display name or nickname, the bio, captions, posts and comments. Leet is the exception, because it only uses normal letters and digits. **Why do some weird letters show up as empty boxes?** The characters are real Unicode text, but the device showing them needs a font that contains them. Recent phones and computers have nearly all of them; older ones can be missing the rarer scripts and show a box instead. If that happens, pick a different style. **Can Russian or Greek speakers read the Faux Russian and Faux Greek styles?** No. The letters are chosen for their shape, not their sound. A Russian reader sees Я as "ya" and И as "ee", and a Greek reader sees η as a vowel and ρ as an R, so the result reads as nonsense in those languages. **What does 1337 mean?** 1337 is the word "leet" written in leet itself: 1 for L, 3 for E and 7 for T. Leet is short for "elite" and replaces letters with digits that look similar. This tool uses 1 for I and keeps L as a letter, so it writes "leet" as l337. **What is the difference between weird text and Zalgo text?** Weird alphabets replace each letter with a different character that looks similar. Zalgo, or glitch, text keeps your normal letters and stacks combining accent marks above, through and below them. This page has one glitch style; the Zalgo Text Generator lets you set the strength. **Does weird text use up more of a character limit?** It can. X counts many of these characters, including the Chinese shapes, currency signs and squared letters, as two characters each. Boxed Letters and Waves also add extra symbols around every letter, so the text gets longer. **Which weird style is the easiest to read?** The styles that keep your normal letters: aLtErNaTiNg, Boxed Letters and Waves. Among the weird alphabets, Curvy and Faux Russian are usually the easiest, because several letters stay plain and the rest are close to the Latin shapes. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Mirror Text Generator > Type your text and copy it as mirror writing (ƚxɘƚ ɿoɿɿim) that reads correctly in a mirror, with a chart of every mirrored letter. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/mirror-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/mirror-text-generator/?text=Good+morning - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `Good morning`) ## What is mirror text? **Mirror text** is writing flipped left to right, the way it looks reflected in a mirror: `Good morning` becomes `ǫninɿom booᎮ`. Hold that up to a mirror and it reads normally again. This **mirror text generator** does the flipping for you. Type in the box, copy the mirrored line, and paste it wherever you want. The result is text, not a picture. Each letter is replaced by a Unicode character shaped like its mirror image, so you can paste it into a bio, a message, or a document. That also sets its limits, which are covered further down. ## How to make and read mirror writing 1. Type or paste your text in the box. 2. Tap the **Mirror** row to copy it. The backwards and upside down rows underneath are there so you can compare the three effects. 3. Paste it into your post, note, or puzzle. 4. To read it, hold the screen or the printed page up to a mirror. Without a mirror, read from right to left and turn each letter around in your head. It gets easy after a few lines. To reverse mirror text that someone sent you, paste it into the box. The letters come back in the right order, although the lookalike characters stay flipped. A mirror gives a cleaner result. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I reverse mirror text back to normal?** Hold it up to a mirror, or paste it into the generator. Pasting restores the order of the letters, but the lookalike characters stay flipped, so a mirror gives the cleaner result. **Which letters look the same in a mirror?** Letters with matching left and right halves: capital A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y, and lowercase i, l, o, v, w, and x. Lowercase m, n, and u are close enough that the generator leaves them alone, and b/d and p/q turn into each other. **Can I use mirror text in a username?** Not in an @handle. Instagram, TikTok, X, and Discord usernames only accept plain letters, numbers, underscores, and periods. Mirror text works in display names, nicknames, bios, captions, and messages. **Does the mirror text generator flip numbers and punctuation?** No. Unicode has no mirrored digits or punctuation marks, so they keep their normal shape and only move to their new position in the reversed line. **Why do some mirrored letters show up as empty boxes?** Each mirrored letter is a character borrowed from another alphabet, and the reader's device needs a font that includes it. The rarer ones, such as the mirrored F, G, J, and P, can fail on older devices. Lowercase text is the safer choice. **Can I write mirror text by hand?** Yes. Start at the right edge of the page, write toward the left, and turn every letter to face the other way. It helps to print a mirrored line from the generator and copy it. **Can I print mirror text for an iron-on transfer?** Use your printer's mirror image or flip horizontal setting for that. It flips the whole design in your own font. This generator makes copy-and-paste characters, which are lookalikes and will not match a chosen font. **Is the mirror text generator free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Strikethrough Text Generator > Put a line through, under, or over your text and copy it for Instagram, TikTok, X, and other places that have no strikethrough button. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/strikethrough-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/strikethrough-text-generator/?text=like+this - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `like this`) ## What is a strikethrough text generator? A **strikethrough text generator** draws a line through your letters, l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶, and gives you the result as plain text that you can copy and paste. It is for the places that have no strikethrough button: an Instagram bio, a TikTok caption, a post on X or LinkedIn. Besides the classic crossed-out text, this generator makes six related line styles: slashed, wavy, underline, double underline, overline, and strikethrough with underline. ## How to use it 1. Type or paste your text into the box (up to 1,000 characters). 2. Tap the style you want, or its **Copy** button. 3. Paste it where you need it. To cross out only part of a sentence, convert just those words and type the rest normally around them after pasting. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I strikethrough text on Instagram?** Instagram has no strikethrough button. Type your text in the generator, copy the crossed-out version, and paste it into your bio, caption, or comment. **What is the keyboard shortcut for strikethrough?** In Google Docs it is Alt+Shift+5 on Windows and Cmd+Shift+X on a Mac. In Excel it is Ctrl+5 on Windows and Cmd+Shift+X on a Mac. In Word, use the strikethrough button on the Home tab, or press Alt, then H, then 4 on Windows. **How do I cross out text on Facebook?** Facebook posts have no strikethrough option, so use the copy-and-paste version: generate the crossed-out text here and paste it into your post. **How do I remove strikethrough from text I pasted?** Pasted Unicode strikethrough is made of characters, not formatting, so a clear-formatting button will not remove it. Delete the text and type it again. Strikethrough applied by Word or Google Docs itself comes off by selecting the text and pressing the same shortcut again. **Why does the line look broken or uneven?** Each letter carries its own short stroke, and the font of the app you paste into decides how the strokes line up. Some fonts join them into one clean line; others leave small gaps or draw the line slightly too high or too low. **Does strikethrough text use more characters?** Yes. A combining mark is added after every letter, so the text is twice as long: a 13-letter word becomes 26 characters. That matters in bios and posts with a character limit. **Can I cross out just one word in a sentence?** Yes. Put only that word into the generator, copy it, and paste it into your sentence, for example: I am v̶e̶r̶y̶ a little tired. **Is crossed-out text hidden from readers?** No. The words stay readable and can still be copied. Strikethrough signals that something was changed, finished, or meant as a joke. To cover text completely, use a redacted text generator. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Redacted Text Generator > Black out your text with solid censor blocks (█████) for a redacted, classified, or censored look you can copy and paste anywhere. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/redacted-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/redacted-text-generator/?text=top+secret+plan - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `top secret plan`) ## What is a redacted text generator? A **redacted text generator** blacks out your words with solid blocks (`█████`), giving them the classic censored, classified, or “top secret” look. It keeps the spaces between words, so the shape of the redaction still reads like a real document. ## How to use it 1. Type your text in the box. 2. Pick a solid, shaded, or light block style. 3. Tap **Copy** and paste the redacted text anywhere. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the redacted text generator work?** It replaces each visible character in your text with a solid block character (█), keeping the spaces, so the result looks like a redacted or censored document. Choose solid, shaded, or light blocks. **Is the original text still hidden inside?** The blocks replace your characters entirely, so the copied result contains only block characters — the original letters are not stored inside. Keep your own copy of anything you still need. **Where can I use redacted text?** Memes, posts, and messages where you want a 'classified' or censored look, and design mock-ups. It is real Unicode, so it pastes into most apps. **Is it free and private?** Yes — everything runs in your browser with no sign-up, and your text is never uploaded. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Invisible Character > Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/ - Type: free online tool (Text tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/?type=braille&n=5 - `type`: which blank character: hangul (U+3164, default), braille (U+2800), halfwidth (U+FFA0), zwsp (U+200B), wj (U+2060), nbsp (U+00A0), ensp (U+2002), emsp (U+2003), ideo (U+3000) or thin (U+2009) (for example `braille`) - `n`: how many characters to copy, 1 to 2000 (for example `5`) - `lines`: 1 puts one character per line (empty-looking lines) (for example `1`) - `tab`: find opens the Find & remove checker (for example `find`) - `text`: text to check for hidden characters (opens the checker) (for example `hello world`) ## What is an invisible character? An **invisible character** is a real Unicode character that shows up as nothing: no letter, no mark, just empty space or no space at all. You can copy it, paste it and send it like any other text, which is why people use it for **blank names**, **empty-looking messages** and spacing that an app would otherwise remove. The same characters also hide inside ordinary text by accident, where they break searches, passwords and code. This page does both jobs: it copies blank text, and it finds and removes hidden characters. ## How to copy an invisible character 1. Stay on **Copy blank text** and pick a character. The Hangul Filler (U+3164) is selected to start with, because it is the one that works in the most places. 2. Choose **how many**: tap 1, 3, 5, 10, 50 or 100, or type any number up to 2,000. 3. Choose **In a row** for one blank stretch, or **One per line** for a column of empty-looking lines. 4. Tap the big **Copy** button, then paste into a name field, a bio or a message. The box under the button shows each character you copied as a small label, since the real thing is, of course, invisible. ## Frequently asked questions **What is an invisible character?** A real Unicode character that shows as nothing, such as the Hangul Filler (U+3164), the braille blank (U+2800) or the zero width space (U+200B). You can copy, paste and send it like normal text, but it looks empty. **How do I copy and paste an invisible character?** Pick a character, choose how many you need (1 to 2,000) and tap Copy. Then paste it into a name field, bio or message like any other text. **What is blank text?** Text made only of invisible characters. It looks empty but counts as text, so you can use it for blank messages, empty-looking names, extra empty lines in a bio, or wide gaps that normal spaces can't make. **Which invisible character works best for a blank name?** The Hangul Filler (U+3164) often works, because it is a letter rather than a space and isn't trimmed. If it is rejected, try the braille blank (U+2800) or the halfwidth Hangul Filler. Every app sets its own rules. **How do I send a blank message?** Copy one Hangul Filler or braille blank, paste it in the message box and send. If the send button stays gray, the app removed it; try the other character or paste two. **Why doesn't my blank name or message work?** Many apps trim spaces and remove zero-width characters, and some block known blank characters on purpose. Try another kind, use two or three characters, or add one small visible character such as a dot. **How can I see invisible characters in text?** Open Find & remove and paste the text. Every hidden character shows up as a small label in its exact position, with a table of each kind, its code point and how many there are. **How do I remove invisible characters from text?** Paste the text into Find & remove, choose what to remove (zero-width characters, blank letters, direction marks, control characters, unusual spaces) and copy the clean text. Emoji stay intact by default. **What is the Unicode code for an invisible character?** Common ones are U+3164 (Hangul Filler), U+2800 (braille pattern blank), U+200B (zero width space), U+00A0 (no-break space) and U+FEFF (zero width no-break space). The table on this page lists them all with HTML codes. **How do I type an invisible character on a keyboard?** On Windows, hold Alt and type 0160 on the number pad for a no-break space; on a Mac, Option + Space types one. For blank names, copying the Hangul Filler works better, because a no-break space counts as a space. ## Related tools - [Text Repeater](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-repeater/): Repeat any word, sentence or emoji up to 10,000 times, with new lines, spaces, commas or numbers, then copy it or download it as a .txt file. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Discord Text Formatter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/): Format Discord messages with a live preview, make timestamps that show in every reader's own time zone, and build colored text with ANSI code blocks. - [Username Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/username-generator/): Username ideas in 12 styles, built around your name if you like, sized for 11 platforms’ rules, with short names, matching pairs and a rule checker for any username. - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it. --- # Discord Text Formatter > Format Discord messages with a live preview, make timestamps that show in every reader's own time zone, and build colored text with ANSI code blocks. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/ - Type: free online tool (Text tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/?mode=time&t=1791043200 - `text`: the message to format (on the colored-text tab: the text to color) (for example `hello`) - `style`: comma-separated styles applied to each line: bold, italic, underline, strike, spoiler (for example `bold,italic`) - `line`: line style: subtext, h1, h2, h3 or quote (for example `h1`) - `mode`: format (default), time to open the timestamp generator, or color for colored text (for example `time`) - `t`: with mode=time: a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds, or a Discord message ID (for example `1791043200`) - `color`: with mode=color: gray, red, green, yellow, blue, pink, cyan or white; black also works (for example `red`) - `theme`: preview theme: dark (default) or light (for example `light`) ## How to use the Discord text formatter Discord formats messages with **markdown**: a few symbols around your words make them bold, italic, underlined, crossed out or hidden as a spoiler. This formatter has three parts, one per tab: 1. **Format.** Type your message, select a word or a line, and tap a button: **B** for bold, **I** for italic, **U** for underline, **S** for strikethrough, Spoiler, code, headers, small text, quotes, lists, code blocks and links. Tap the same button again to undo it. The **preview** below shows the message the way Discord displays it, in the dark or light theme. Then tap **Copy message** and paste it into Discord. 2. **Timestamps.** Pick a date and time (and its time zone) to get a `` code in all nine styles, each previewed in your own local time. Copy one, or tap **Add** to put it in your message. 3. **Colored text.** Give each piece of text its own color, background, bold or underline, or turn a whole line into rainbow letters. The tool writes the `ansi` code block that Discord turns into color. The counter under the message box keeps an eye on Discord’s limit of 2,000 characters per message (4,000 with Nitro). Everything runs in your browser: your message is not sent anywhere until you paste it into Discord yourself. ## Discord markdown cheat sheet The formatting codes Discord understands in chat messages, in four short tables. Type the symbols exactly as shown, or let the formatter add them for you. ### Text styles | Style | Type this | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Bold | `**bold text**` | Two asterisks on each side. | | Italic | `*italic text*` | One asterisk or one underscore: _italic text_. | | Bold italic | `***bold italic***` | Three asterisks. | | Underline | `__underlined text__` | Two underscores on each side. | | Underline italic | `__*underline italic*__` | Styles can be nested. | | Strikethrough | `~~crossed out~~` | Two tildes on each side. | | Spoiler | `\|\|hidden text\|\|` | Readers click or tap to reveal it. | ### Headers, small text, lists and quotes | Style | Type this | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Big header | `# Header` | At the start of a line, with a space after #. | | Medium header | `## Header` | Two hash signs. | | Small header | `### Header` | Three hash signs; #### is not a header. | | Subtext (small text) | `-# small gray text` | Dash, hash, space at the start of a line. | | Bulleted list | `- item` | A dash or an asterisk and a space. | | Nested list item | ` - sub-item` | Indent with a space or two. | | Numbered list | `1. item` | A number, a period and a space. | | Quote one line | `> quoted line` | Greater-than sign and a space. | | Quote the rest | `>>> everything after` | Quotes every line to the end of the message. | ### Code and colored text | Style | Type this | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Inline code | ``code`` | Backticks; no formatting happens inside. | | Code block | ```` code ```` | Three backticks above and below. | | Code with colors | ````js let x = 1; ```` | A language name after the opening backticks. | | Colored text | ````ansi … ```` | ANSI codes; build them with the Colored text tab. | ### Links, timestamps and symbols | Style | Type this | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Masked link | `[link text](https://example.com)` | Shows the text instead of the address. | | Link without preview | `` | Angle brackets stop the embed. | | Timestamp | `` | Shows in each reader’s own time zone. | | Escape a symbol | `\*not italic\*` | A backslash shows the symbol itself. | ## Frequently asked questions **How do I format text in Discord?** Discord uses markdown: **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~, ||spoiler|| and `code`. Type your message here, select words, tap a button, check the preview and copy the result into Discord. **How do I make text small in Discord?** Start the line with a dash, a hash sign and a space: -# your text. Discord shows it as subtext, smaller and gray. Each small line needs its own -# at the very start. **How do I spoiler text on Discord?** Put two vertical bars on each side, like ||hidden text||. Readers tap or click to reveal it. It works the same on desktop and in the mobile apps. **How do I make text bigger in Discord?** Start a line with # and a space for a big header, ## for a medium one or ### for a small one. There are only three sizes, and the header must start the line. **How do I cross out text in Discord?** Wrap it in two tildes on each side: ~~crossed out~~. Select the words in the formatter and tap S to add them. **How do I make colored text in Discord?** Discord colors text inside a code block marked ansi, using ANSI escape codes. Use the Colored text tab to pick text and background colors, then copy the block. It shows on desktop and in the browser; the mobile apps usually show plain text. **How do Discord timestamps work?** Write , where UNIX is seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC) and STYLE is a letter such as t, d, f, F or R. Discord shows the time in each reader's own time zone. The Timestamps tab builds the code for any date. **What does R mean in a Discord timestamp?** R is the relative style. It shows how far away the time is, such as in 2 hours or 3 days ago, and keeps updating, which makes it ideal for countdowns. **How do I make a masked link in Discord?** Write the text in square brackets followed by the address in parentheses: [link text](https://example.com). Wrap a plain link in angle brackets, , to hide its preview. **Why doesn't formatting work in my Discord name?** Markdown only works in messages and posts, not in usernames, display names, nicknames or channel names. For those, use styled Unicode letters from a fancy text or bold text generator. ## Related tools - [Invisible Character](https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/): Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Strikethrough Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/strikethrough-text-generator/): Put a line through, under, or over your text and copy it for Instagram, TikTok, X, and other places that have no strikethrough button. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. --- # Text Repeater > Repeat any word, sentence or emoji up to 10,000 times, with new lines, spaces, commas or numbers, then copy it or download it as a .txt file. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-repeater/ - Type: free online tool (Text tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-repeater/?text=I%20love%20you×=100&num=dot - `text`: text to repeat (for example `hello`) - `times`: how many times to repeat it, 1 to 10000 (1 to 500 with a pattern; default 10); alias n (for example `100`) - `sep`: separator between copies: newline (default), space, comma, none or custom (for example `space`) - `with`: custom separator text (sets sep=custom); \n means a line break, \t a tab (for example ` | `) - `num`: number each copy: dot (1.), paren (1)) or hash (#1) (for example `dot`) - `pattern`: grow (increasing), shrink (decreasing) or pyramid; default same (for example `pyramid`) ## How to use the text repeater The **text repeater** copies a word, a sentence, an emoji or a whole paragraph as many times as you want, in one go. You choose the number, how the copies are separated and whether they are numbered, and the result is ready to copy or download. Everything happens in your browser, so it works on a phone as well as on a computer. 1. **Type or paste your text.** Tap one of the emoji or symbols under the box to add it, or paste your own. 2. **Choose how many times to repeat it.** Type any number from 1 to 10,000, or tap 10, 50, 100, 500 or 1,000. 3. **Pick what goes between the copies:** a new line, a space, a comma, nothing at all, or your own separator. 4. **Add numbers or a pattern if you like.** Numbering turns the copies into a numbered list. Patterns build lines that grow, shrink or form a pyramid. 5. **Copy or download.** The line above the result shows how many copies, characters, words and lines you made, and whether it fits in a text message. ## Separators: new line, space, comma or your own The separator is what sits between two copies. It changes the shape of the result more than anything else. Here is the word *hi* repeated three times with each option (↵ marks a line break): | Separator | Result | Good for | | --- | --- | --- | | New line | hi ↵ hi ↵ hi | Lists, one item per line, filling a column in a spreadsheet | | Space | hi hi hi | A sentence that keeps going, chat messages, word practice | | Comma | hi, hi, hi | Comma-separated lists, test data, tags | | No gap | hihihi | Emoji strings, dividers and bars made of one symbol | | Custom ( \| ) | hi \| hi \| hi | Anything else: a slash, a dash, a blank line between copies | A custom separator can be anything up to 40 characters, and spaces count: a bar with a space on each side gives `hi | hi | hi`, a bar on its own gives `hi|hi|hi`. To put a blank line between copies, type `\n\n`: the tool reads `\n` as a line break and `\t` as a tab. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I repeat text multiple times?** Type or paste your text, enter how many times to repeat it, and choose what goes between the copies: a new line, a space, a comma, nothing, or your own separator. The result builds instantly; tap Copy or Download .txt. **Can I repeat text 1,000 or 10,000 times?** Yes. You can repeat text up to 10,000 times, as long as the result stays under 1,000,000 characters. If a long text would go over that, the tool tells you the largest number that fits and lets you use it with one tap. **How do I put each copy on a new line?** Choose New line as the separator. Each copy then starts on its own line. To leave a blank line between copies, choose Custom and type \n\n. **How do I number the repeated text?** Pick a style under Numbering: 1., 1) or #1. Every copy gets a running number in front, which turns the result into a numbered list. **Can I repeat emoji and symbols?** Yes. Tap one of the quick picks under the text box or paste any emoji or symbol, then choose No gap so the copies sit side by side. Increasing, decreasing and pyramid patterns work with emoji too. **How many characters fit in one text message?** A single SMS holds 160 characters of plain letters, digits and basic punctuation, or 70 characters if it contains an emoji or another special character. The text repeater shows how many message parts your result would need. **How do I repeat text in Excel or Google Sheets?** Use the REPT function: =REPT("ha", 5) gives hahahahaha. For a space between copies, use =TRIM(REPT("ha ", 5)). **Is the text repeater free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Remove Line Breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/): Remove line breaks from pasted text, keep paragraphs, fix PDF and email copy-paste, replace breaks with commas, or add line breaks, then copy or download. - [Heart Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/heart-symbols/): Tap to copy heart symbols and heart emoji — ♥ ❤ ♡ 💕 🖤 and dozens more — for Instagram, TikTok, bios, usernames, and messages. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Kaomoji](https://linguaholic.com/tools/kaomoji/): A searchable collection of more than 1,400 kaomoji (Japanese emoticons) and 370 emoji combos, sorted by mood, animal and theme: tap one to copy it. - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it. --- # Remove Line Breaks > Remove line breaks from pasted text, keep paragraphs, fix PDF and email copy-paste, replace breaks with commas, or add line breaks, then copy or download. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/ - Type: free online tool (Text tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 3, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/?text=line%20one%0Aline%20two&mode=paragraphs&pdf=1 - `text`: text to clean up (encode line breaks as %0A) (for example `line one%0Aline two`) - `mode`: spaces (default), paragraphs, join (remove completely), comma, custom, empty (remove empty lines), wrap (every N characters), sentences or split (at a character) (for example `paragraphs`) - `with`: text to put between lines (sets mode=custom); \t means a tab (for example ` / `) - `pdf`: 1 fixes PDF copy-paste: rejoins hyphenated words, removes soft hyphens, spells out ligatures (for example `1`) - `quotes`: 1 removes email quote marks (>) at the start of lines (for example `1`) - `collapse`: 1 (default) collapses double spaces and tabs, 0 keeps them (for example `0`) - `trim`: 1 (default) trims spaces at the start and end of lines, 0 keeps them (for example `0`) - `width`: line length for mode=wrap, 10 to 500 (default 72) (for example `60`) - `keepwords`: for mode=wrap: 1 (default) never cuts a word, 0 cuts exactly every N characters (for example `0`) - `delim`: character to start a new line at, for mode=split (default comma) (for example `;`) ## How to remove line breaks from text **Remove Line Breaks** takes text that is broken into short lines and joins it back into normal, flowing paragraphs. It is made for text copied from PDFs, emails, websites and code, where a line break often sits at the end of every visible line instead of only at the end of a paragraph. It can also do the opposite and add line breaks where you want them. 1. **Paste your text** into the box. Nothing is uploaded; the cleanup runs in your browser. 2. **Choose how to remove the line breaks:** replace them with spaces, keep paragraphs, remove them completely, replace them with commas or with your own text, or only remove the empty lines. 3. **Pick the cleanup you need.** Trimming and collapsing extra spaces are on by default. Turn on *Fix text copied from a PDF* for words broken with a hyphen, and *Remove email quote marks* for replies. 4. **Check the counts and copy.** The tool shows how many line breaks it removed and the character, word and line counts before and after. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or move it back to the input to clean it again. ## Six ways to remove line breaks Each mode suits a different job. Here is the same short note, with a line break in the middle of each sentence and a blank line between the two paragraphs, run through every mode (↵ marks a line break): | Mode | Result | | --- | --- | | **Replace with spaces** Every line break becomes one space: wrapped lines turn into one flowing paragraph. | Pack a warm coat, good boots and a hat. The trail starts at the north gate. | | **Keep paragraphs** Joins the lines inside each paragraph and keeps one blank line between paragraphs. | Pack a warm coat, good boots and a hat. ↵ ↵ The trail starts at the north gate. | | **Remove completely** Deletes line breaks with nothing in their place, so the lines run straight into each other. | Pack a warm coat,good boots and a hat.The trail starts atthe north gate. | | **Replace with commas** Turns a list with one item per line into one line: apple, pear, plum. Blank lines are skipped. | Pack a warm coat, good boots and a hat. The trail starts at, the north gate. | | **Replace with…** Puts your own text between the lines, such as a slash, a semicolon or
. | Pack a warm coat, / good boots and a hat. / The trail starts at / the north gate. | | **Remove empty lines** Keeps every line where it is and only deletes the blank lines between them. | Pack a warm coat, ↵ good boots and a hat. ↵ The trail starts at ↵ the north gate. | **Replace with spaces** is the right choice most of the time: it turns any number of lines into one clean paragraph without gluing words together. **Remove completely** leaves nothing between the lines, which is what you want for a long code, a link or a number that was split over several lines, but it joins ordinary words (“hat.The”), so use it with care. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I remove line breaks from text?** Paste your text and choose Replace with spaces. Every line break becomes a single space, so wrapped lines turn back into one flowing paragraph. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file. **How do I remove line breaks but keep paragraphs?** Choose Keep paragraphs. The lines inside each paragraph are joined, and one blank line is kept between paragraphs. Paragraphs need a blank line between them in your text for the tool to tell them apart. **How do I fix text copied from a PDF?** Choose Keep paragraphs or Replace with spaces and turn on Fix text copied from a PDF. It rejoins words split with a hyphen at the end of a line, removes soft hyphens and spells out ligatures such as fi and fl. Check hyphenated words like well-known afterwards. **How do I replace line breaks with commas?** Choose Replace with commas. A list with one item per line becomes one line, such as apples, pears, plums. Blank lines are skipped. For another separator, choose Replace with… and type it. **How do I remove line breaks in Word?** Open Replace with Ctrl+H, type ^p (paragraph mark) or ^l (manual line break) in Find what, put a space in Replace with, and choose Replace All. **How do I remove line breaks in Excel?** Open Find and Replace with Ctrl+H, click in Find what and press Ctrl+J to enter a line break, type a space in Replace with, and choose Replace All. A formula also works: =SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(10), " "). **How do I add line breaks every N characters or after each sentence?** Switch to Add line breaks. Every N characters wraps text at the length you choose without cutting words, After each sentence puts every sentence on its own line, and At a character starts a new line at each comma or another character. **What is the difference between a line break and a paragraph break?** A paragraph break (Enter) ends a paragraph, while a line break (Shift+Enter in most editors) starts a new line inside the same paragraph. In plain text both are line break characters, and paragraphs are shown with a blank line between them. **Is my text uploaded anywhere?** No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your text stays on your device. It is free and needs no sign-up. ## Related tools - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it. - [Text Repeater](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-repeater/): Repeat any word, sentence or emoji up to 10,000 times, with new lines, spaces, commas or numbers, then copy it or download it as a .txt file. - [Sentence Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/): Count sentences, words and paragraphs, see your average sentence length, and find your longest, shortest and too-long sentences. - [Invisible Character](https://linguaholic.com/tools/invisible-character/): Copy invisible characters and blank text for empty names, messages and spacing, or paste text to find and remove hidden characters. - [Discord Text Formatter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/): Format Discord messages with a live preview, make timestamps that show in every reader's own time zone, and build colored text with ANSI code blocks. --- # Word Combiner > Combine lists of words into every pairing, blend two words into a portmanteau (breakfast + lunch = brunch), and explore 1,200 compound words — with real English words marked. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-combiner/ - Type: free online tool (Writing tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-combiner/?mode=blend&a=smoke&b=fog - `a`: first word list, comma-separated (with mode=blend: the first word) (for example `neon,velvet`) - `b`: second word list, comma-separated (with mode=blend: the second word) (for example `wolf,rose`) - `join`: how list combinations are joined: none (default), space, hyphen, underscore or dot (for example `hyphen`) - `mode`: lists (default), blend (portmanteau of two words) or compound (compound words) (for example `blend`) - `q`: with mode=compound: the word to find compound words for (for example `rain`) ## What is a word combiner? A **word combiner** pairs every word from one list with every word from another, producing all possible combinations at once. It is a fast way to brainstorm usernames, brand and business names, domains, and creative phrases without writing out each pairing by hand. ## How to use it 1. Type words into **List 1**, one per line. 2. Add words to **List 2** (or leave it empty to pair List 1 with itself). 3. Choose how to join them — joined, space, hyphen, underscore, or dot. 4. Tap **Copy all** to grab every combination. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I blend two words into one?** Switch to Blend two words and type both words. The tool keeps the start of one word and the end of the other and ranks the smoothest blends first — those that share a letter or sound where the words meet, like motor + hotel = motel. Blends that are already real words, such as brunch, are marked. **What is a portmanteau?** A portmanteau is a word made by blending two words and their meanings, like smog (smoke + fog), brunch (breakfast + lunch), or spork (spoon + fork). The word comes from a travel case that opens into two parts. **What are compound words?** Compound words join two words into one with a new meaning, like sunflower, football, or notebook. The Compound words mode lists every common compound that starts or ends with your word, and shows how a compound splits into its parts. **How does the word combiner work?** Enter words in List 1 and List 2 (one per line), and the tool pairs every word from the first list with every word from the second. Choose how to join them — joined, space, hyphen, underscore, or dot — and copy all results. **Can I combine one list with itself?** Yes. Leave List 2 empty and the tool pairs List 1 with itself, giving every combination of your words — handy for brainstorming names from a single set of ideas. **What is a word combiner used for?** Creating usernames and gamertags, brand, business, and band names, domain-name ideas, and creative brainstorming where you want to see every mix of two word sets quickly. **Is it free and private?** Yes — it runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

Paste or type into the box and the result appears as you type. You don’t need to pick a direction: with Auto-detect on, the converter recognizes hex such as `48 65 6C 6C 6F` and decodes it, and treats anything else as text to encode. If it guesses wrong (a short word made only of the letters A to F, for example), tap **Hex → Text** or **Text → Hex** to choose. 1. **Paste your hex.** It can be spaced (`48 65`), continuous (`4865`), written with `0x` prefixes, as `\x48\x65` escapes, as a comma list, URL-style (`%48%65`) or split by colons or dashes. Upper and lower case both work. 2. **Check the encoding.** UTF-8 is the default and right for almost everything made in the last twenty years. Switch to ASCII, Latin-1 or Unicode code points if your hex came from somewhere older or different (see below). 3. **Read the result.** Bytes that cannot be decoded are highlighted in red with their hex, and invisible control characters such as a tab or a null byte show up as small labels, so nothing is hidden. 4. **Open “Byte by byte”** to see every character with its hex, decimal and binary values, and the reason any byte failed. 5. **Copy** the result, or tap **Swap** to convert it straight back the other way. ## How to convert text to hex Type or paste your text and the hex appears below. Three options shape the output: - **Character encoding:** UTF-8 gives the bytes a web page or file would really contain. ASCII and Latin-1 give one byte per character, and leave out (and list) any character they have no code for. Code points give each character’s Unicode number instead of bytes. - **Hex layout:** spaced (`48 69 21`), continuous (`486921`), 0x prefix (`0x48 0x69 0x21`), \x escapes (`\x48\x69\x21`), comma list (`0x48, 0x69, 0x21`). The 0x, escape and comma layouts are ready to paste into code. - **Letter case:** uppercase (`6C`) or lowercase (`6c`). They mean the same; it is only a matter of style. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I convert hex to text?** Paste the hex into the box, for example 48 65 6C 6C 6F, and the text (Hello) appears at once. Auto-detect recognizes hex by itself, and spaced, continuous, 0x, \x, comma and % layouts all work. **How do I convert text to hex?** Type or paste your text and the hex appears below. Choose UTF-8, ASCII, Latin-1 or code points, a layout (spaced, continuous, 0x, \x escapes or a comma list) and upper or lower case, then copy it. **What is 48 65 6C 6C 6F in text?** It spells Hello. 48 is H, 65 is e, 6C is l (twice) and 6F is o. Each pair of hex digits is one byte, and these bytes are the same in ASCII and UTF-8. **How do you convert hex to text by hand?** Split the hex into pairs, turn each pair into a number (first digit × 16 + second digit, with A to F meaning 10 to 15), and look the number up in an ASCII table. 48 is 4 × 16 + 8 = 72, which is the letter H. **What is the difference between UTF-8, ASCII and Latin-1?** ASCII has 128 characters (00 to 7F). Latin-1 adds Western European letters up to FF, one byte each. UTF-8 keeps ASCII and writes every other character as 2 to 4 bytes, so é is C3 A9 in UTF-8 but E9 in Latin-1. **Why does my decoded text show � or é?** The encoding doesn't match. é means UTF-8 bytes were read as Latin-1, so choose UTF-8. A � means a byte is not valid UTF-8, often a Latin-1 byte such as E9, so try Latin-1. **Why is a byte highlighted as invalid?** It is either not hex (only 0–9 and A–F are allowed), a lone digit without its pair, above 7F in ASCII, or a broken UTF-8 sequence. Open Byte by byte to see the exact reason for each one. **Can it convert hex to decimal or binary?** Yes. The Byte by byte table lists every character with its hex, decimal and binary values, in both directions. **Is anything uploaded?** No. The converter runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded or stored, and it works offline once the page has loaded. ## Related tools - [Binary Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-translator/): Translate text to binary and binary code back to text — auto-detects what you paste, works with every language and emoji (UTF-8), shows each character's code, decimal, hex and binary, and includes a full binary alphabet chart. - [Binary Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-converter/): Convert between binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal as you type — exact for numbers of any size — with two's complement for 8/16/32/64 bits, bit and byte counts, step-by-step working, and a live binary clock. - [Binary Calculator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/binary-calculator/): Add, subtract, multiply and divide binary numbers with every carry and borrow shown, plus two’s complement, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts, and answers in four bases. - [Morse Code Translator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/morse-code-translator/): Translate text to Morse code and decode it back, hear it as adjustable-speed sound with a visual flasher, and read the full Morse alphabet, number, and punctuation chart. - [Caesar Cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/): Encode and decode the Caesar shift cipher with any shift from 1 to 25, or crack a message without the key: every shift is tried and ranked for you. - [Roman Numeral Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/roman-numeral-converter/): Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back in one box, write big numbers with the bar on top, turn any date into Roman numerals for a tattoo, add and multiply Roman numerals, and practice with a quick quiz — plus a full chart. --- # Backwards Text Generator > Reverse your text three ways: the whole text backwards, the word order reversed, or each word spelled backwards. Copy the one you need. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/backwards-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/backwards-text-generator/?text=hello+world - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `hello world`) ## Three ways to reverse text “Reverse this” can mean reversing the letters, the words, or both. This **backwards text generator**, or reverse text generator, shows all three at once, so you can copy the one you meant. Here is the same sentence, `The quick brown fox`, run through each mode: | Mode | What it does | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Backwards | Every character in reverse order, spaces included | xof nworb kciuq ehT | | Reversed Word Order | The words stay readable; the last word comes first | fox brown quick The | | Each Word Backwards | Each word is spelled backwards, in its original place | ehT kciuq nworb xof | The first row is what most people mean by **backwards text** or **reverse text**. The second is a word reverser: use it to **reverse words** in a sentence without scrambling them. The third reverses letters word by word, which is easier to read back than a fully reversed line. Two more rows, Mirror and Upside Down, change the shape of the letters as well. They are explained further down. ## How to use the text reverser 1. Type or paste your text in the box. Every row updates as you type. 2. Tap the row you want, or its **Copy** button. 3. Paste the reversed text wherever you need it. To turn backwards text back into normal text, paste it in and copy the Backwards row again. Reversing twice gives you the original. With several lines of text, the Backwards row reverses everything, so the last line comes out first. The two word modes work line by line and keep your line breaks where they are. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I read or decode backwards text?** Read it from the last character to the first, or paste it into the generator and copy the Backwards row. Reversing reversed text gives you the original. **Can I use backwards text as a username?** Yes. Plain backwards text uses the same letters you typed, so it is accepted wherever the original spelling would be, including @handles. The Mirror and Upside Down rows use special characters and are not accepted in handles. **How do I reverse the order of words without reversing the letters?** Use the Reversed Word Order row. It keeps every word spelled normally and puts the last word first, so "one two three" becomes "three two one". **Does it reverse numbers, punctuation, and emoji?** Numbers and punctuation are reversed like any other character, so 2026 becomes 6202. Simple emoji survive, but flags and emoji with skin tones are built from several characters and can break apart. **Is backwards text a safe way to hide a password or a secret?** No. Anyone can read reversed text in a few seconds, and reversing it again restores it. It is fine for spoilers, riddles, and games, but not for anything private. **Is it backward or backwards?** Both are correct as adverbs. American English leans toward "backward" and British English toward "backwards". As an adjective, as in "a backward glance", the form without the s is standard. **What is the difference between a palindrome and a semordnilap?** A palindrome reads the same in both directions, like "level". A semordnilap spells a different word backwards, like "stressed" and "desserts". **Is the backwards text generator free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the text is reversed in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # Upside Down Text Generator > Type your text and copy it flipped upside down (uʍop ǝpᴉsdn), with mirror and backwards versions and a full chart of upside down letters and numbers. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/upside-down-text-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/upside-down-text-generator/?text=Hello+world - `text`: text to restyle (up to 1,000 characters) (for example `Hello world`) ## What is upside down text? **Upside down text** is ordinary writing turned 180°, as if you had spun the page around: `Hello world` becomes `plɹoʍ ollǝH`. People also call it flipped text or inverted text, and an **upside down text generator** (or text flipper) is the tool that makes it. Type in the box above and the flipped line appears as you type, ready to copy and paste. It is not an upside down font. A font only changes how letters are drawn on your own screen, and it is lost the moment you paste somewhere else. This tool swaps every letter for a different Unicode character that happens to look like that letter turned over, so the effect is part of the text and travels with it. Here “inverted” means turned upside down. Inverted colors (white text on black) are a display setting, not something an inverted text generator can do. ## How to use the upside down text generator 1. Type or paste your text in the box. 2. Find the **Upside Down** row. The mirror, backwards, and underlined rows below it are there for comparison. 3. Tap the row or its **Copy** button. 4. Paste it into a bio, caption, comment, or message. To check the result, turn your phone around. Lock the screen rotation first, or the screen will turn with you. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I turn upside down text back to normal?** Only partly. If you paste flipped text back into the generator, the letter order is restored and pairs like n/u, b/q, and d/p turn back, but most other characters stay flipped. The simplest way to read it is to turn your phone around with screen rotation locked. **Can I use upside down text in my Instagram or TikTok username?** Not in the @handle. Handles on Instagram, TikTok, and X only allow plain letters, numbers, underscores, and periods. Upside down text does work in the display name, the bio, captions, and comments. **Why do some upside down letters show up as empty boxes?** The reader's device has no font that contains that character. Lowercase upside down letters are widely supported, while some flipped capitals, such as B, D, J, K, and R, use rarer characters and are more likely to fail on older phones and computers. **Which words read the same upside down?** Words made only of letters that survive a half turn, such as NOON, SWIMS, SOS, pod, and dollop. Lowercase o, s, x, and z and capital H, I, N, O, S, X, and Z stay the same, and n/u, b/q, d/p, and M/W turn into each other. **Can I type upside down letters on my keyboard?** No. Apart from ¿ and ¡, which you get by holding the ? or ! key on a phone, keyboards do not have upside down letters. Type normally in the generator and copy the result. **Does the generator flip capital letters and numbers too?** Yes. Capitals, digits, and common punctuation all have an upside down stand-in. A few, such as the flipped 2, 4, 5, and 7, are lookalikes borrowed from other writing systems and are less exact than the lowercase letters. **Is upside down text the same as mirror text?** No. Upside down text is rotated 180°, so you read it by turning the screen around. Mirror text is flipped left to right and reads correctly in a mirror. Backwards text keeps normal letters and only reverses their order. **Is the upside down text generator free, and is my text saved?** It is free with no sign-up. The flipping happens in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats. --- # ASCII Art Generator > Turn text into ASCII art in 25 fonts — classic FIGlet styles plus 10 of our own, like Shadow 3D, Neon, and Mini Block — or convert any image or photo into ASCII art. Copy it as a code block or download it; everything runs in your browser. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-art-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Word games & fun), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-art-generator/?text=Hello&font=big&border=box - `text`: word or short phrase to draw as ASCII lettering (up to 80 characters) (for example `Hello`) - `font`: one of the 25 fonts, by name or label, case and spaces/hyphens ignored: standard, big, slant, small, banner, block, lean, shadow, script, bubble, digital, mini, small-slant, small-shadow, small-script, or a Linguaholic original: shadow-3d, chunky, dots, mini-block, neon, rounded, outline, soft-3d, linguaholic-slant, echo (for example `big`) - `width`: wrap width in characters: 40, 60, 80, 100 or 120 (default: no wrapping) (for example `80`) - `align`: left, center or right (for example `center`) - `fill`: fill character by name: hash (#), block (█), star (*), at (@), shade (▓), dot (●); default is the font's own characters (for example `hash`) - `border`: ascii (+ - |) or box (┌─┐); default none (for example `box`) - `mode`: image opens the image-to-ASCII converter instead of the text one (nothing to pre-fill there: the visitor picks a photo) (for example `image`) ## What is an ASCII art generator? An **ASCII art generator** draws pictures and lettering out of ordinary keyboard characters — slashes, underscores, pipes, and symbols — so the result is plain text you can paste almost anywhere. This one does both jobs: turn **text into big ASCII lettering** in 25 fonts, or turn **any image or photo into ASCII art**. ## How to turn text into ASCII art 1. Choose **Text → ASCII** and type a word or short phrase. 2. Pick a **font**, or tap **Preview all 25 fonts** to see your text in every style at once. 3. Set **Wrap at** so longer text fits your space, and choose an **alignment**. 4. Optionally swap in a **fill character** (like # or █) and add a **border**. 5. **Copy** it, **copy as a code block**, or **download** a .txt file. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I turn text into ASCII art?** Choose Text → ASCII, type a word or short phrase, and pick one of 25 fonts — classic FIGlet styles or our own originals like Shadow 3D, Neon, and Mini Block. You can wrap long text to a set width, align it, swap in a fill character like # or █, and add a border. Then copy it or download it as a .txt file. **How do I convert an image to ASCII art?** Choose Image → ASCII and drop in a photo, paste one with Ctrl/⌘+V, or choose a file. Each tiny area of the image becomes a character based on its brightness. Adjust the width for more detail, pick a character set, and tweak contrast and brightness until it looks right. **Is my image uploaded anywhere?** No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the canvas built into it. Your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored. **What is FIGlet?** FIGlet is a classic program, first released in 1991, that draws large letters out of ordinary text characters. Its font format became the standard for ASCII-art lettering, and this generator uses the fonts from the official FIGlet distribution. **Why does my ASCII art look broken when I paste it?** ASCII art needs a fixed-width (monospace) font so the columns line up. Use Copy as code block for Discord, GitHub, Reddit, or any Markdown editor — the ``` fences switch the text to a monospace font. In a plain email or a proportional font, the letters will look uneven. **What does the Invert option do in image mode?** By default, dark parts of the image become dense characters, which looks right on a light background. On a dark background — like Discord's dark theme or most terminals — turn on Invert so bright areas become the dense characters instead. **Can I download and use the Linguaholic fonts?** Yes. All ten Linguaholic original fonts are free to download as FIGlet .flf files (individually or as a zip) and work with figlet, toilet, figlet.js, pyfiglet, and similar tools. They are released under the MIT license, so you can use, modify, and redistribute them — even commercially — as long as the copyright and license notice stays in the font files. The ASCII art you create with them is yours. **Is it free?** Yes — completely free with no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/imposter-game-word-generator/): Generate random secret words for the Imposter game — more than 3,000 hand-picked words in 24 categories, from animals and food to funny, movies, and hard mode, each with a related hint word for the imposter — plus the complete word list. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Binary Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/binary-game/): Learn binary by playing: flip bit cards to make a number, read and write binary, race a 60-second challenge and build streaks, across five levels from 4 to 8 bits. - [Never Have I Ever](https://linguaholic.com/games/never-have-i-ever/): Play Never Have I Ever online with more than 1,000 original, clean statements in 13 categories — funny, friends, teens, kids and family, travel, food, juicy but clean, and more — with a group fingers game and a solo score. - [Truth or Dare](https://linguaholic.com/games/truth-or-dare/): Play Truth or Dare online with more than 1,000 original truths and dares — for couples, friends, adults, teens, kids, families, crushes, sleepovers, work, and over text — with player turns, random spins, and the full list to browse. --- # Rhyming Words > Find words that rhyme with any word: perfect rhymes first, then near rhymes, words with the same vowel sound, and phrases, with the most common words on top. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/rhyming-words/ - Type: free online tool (Writing tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/rhyming-words/?q=orange - `q`: the word to find rhymes for (for a phrase, its last word is used) (for example `orange`) - `syl`: only show rhymes with this many syllables, 1 to 5 (for example `2`) ## How the rhyme finder works Type any word and the **rhyming words** finder lists what rhymes with it, starting with the perfect rhymes and moving outward to looser ones. It works from pronunciation, not spelling, so it knows that *through* rhymes with *blue* and that *love* doesn’t rhyme with *move*. It covers about 51,000 words and 7,000 names and places. 1. Type a word. If you type a phrase, the rhymes are for its last word. 2. Read down the sections: perfect rhymes first, then near rhymes, then words that only share the vowel or only the ending. 3. Tap a word to see what it means, copy it, or jump to its own rhymes. **Copy list** copies a whole section. 4. Narrow the results with the syllable filter, or widen them with **Rare words** and **Names & places**. ## Perfect rhymes, near rhymes and slant rhymes Take *rib*. Only a handful of words rhyme with it exactly, but dozens come close. The finder sorts them into kinds, so you can decide how strict to be: | Kind of rhyme | What matches | For “rib” | | --- | --- | --- | | **Perfect rhyme** | Every sound from the stressed vowel to the end | crib, bib, fib, glib, lib | | **Near rhyme** (slant rhyme) | The same vowel, and a consonant from the same family (b/p, b/d/g), or an added -s or -ed | ship, trip, big, kid, ribs | | **Same vowel sound** (assonance) | The vowels match; the consonants are free | give, him, fish, win, this | | **Same ending** (consonance) | The ending matches; the vowel differs | job, club, describe, disturb, grab | Longer words work the same way. For *happy*, the perfect rhymes are unhappy, snappy, scrappy; the near rhymes include shabby, abbey, tabby, crabby, flabby; and words with the same ending but another vowel include copy, sloppy, floppy, nippy, hippie. Songwriters and rappers lean on these looser rhymes all the time, because a natural near rhyme usually sounds better than a forced perfect one. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the rhyme finder work?** It looks up how your word is pronounced, not how it is spelled, and finds every word with the same sounds from the stressed vowel to the end. That is why it knows 'through' rhymes with 'blue'. After the perfect rhymes it lists near rhymes, words with the same vowel sound, and words with the same ending. **What is the difference between a perfect rhyme and a near rhyme?** A perfect rhyme matches every sound from the stressed vowel to the end, like rib and crib. A near rhyme, also called a slant rhyme, is almost the same: the vowel matches and the final consonant is a close relative, like rib and big or rib and ship. **What rhymes with orange?** Nothing rhymes with orange perfectly among everyday words. The closest near rhymes are storage, forage, porridge and foreign. Purple, silver, month and wolf have the same problem; type any of them to see their closest rhymes. **Why does the finder ask how I say a word?** Some words are pronounced two ways, and each has different rhymes: read rhymes with need or with bed, live with give or with drive, wind with pinned or with find. Pick the pronunciation you mean and the rhymes change. **Can I find rhymes with a certain number of syllables?** Yes. Use the syllables filter to show only one- to five-syllable words, which helps a rhyme fit the rhythm of a line. **Does it find rhymes for names?** Yes. You can type first names, surnames and place names, and switch on Names & places to see names among the results as well. **Why are some words missing from the results?** Rare and old-fashioned words are hidden until you switch on Rare words, and swear words and crude terms are left out. You can still type those words to find rhymes for them. **Is the rhyme finder free?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs in your browser: the words you type are not sent anywhere. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

A **syllable** is a single beat of spoken sound, built around one vowel sound. “Cat” has one syllable, “ta·ble” has two, and “beau·ti·ful” has three. Each syllable usually has a vowel sound at its center, with consonants around it: the vowel sound matters, not the number of vowel letters. That is why “bread” (two vowels, one sound) has one syllable and “i·de·a” (three vowels, three sounds) has three. This **syllable counter** looks up every word in a pronouncing dictionary of more than 50,000 English words (plus names), so it counts the way words are actually said — not just by counting vowel letters. It shows where each word breaks into syllables, which syllable is stressed, and which words can be said more than one way. ## How to use the syllable counter 1. **Type or paste** a word, sentence, poem, or song lyrics. The total, words, lines, average syllables per word, and reading grade update as you type. 2. **Type a single word** to see its syllable count, how it divides (ev·er·y), and where the stress falls. 3. **Paste a poem** on separate lines to count the syllables in each line. Pick a form — haiku, tanka, cinquain, limerick, sonnet, or your own pattern — to check every line against it. 4. **Read the rhythm:** stressed syllables are shown in bold, and lines that follow a regular meter are labeled, like “iambic pentameter”. 5. **Find words** with a given number of syllables in the second tab — filter by part of speech, topic, stress, and letters, then copy the list. Words the dictionary doesn’t know (brand names, made-up words, typos) are estimated from their spelling and marked with a **~**. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the syllable counter work?** It looks up every word in a pronouncing dictionary of more than 50,000 English words (based on the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, plus names), so the count reflects how words are actually said. It also shows where each word divides into syllables and which syllable is stressed. Words that aren't in the dictionary, such as brand names or made-up words, are estimated from their spelling and marked with a ~. **How many syllables are in a word like fire, every, or family?** Some words have two common pronunciations. Fire and hour can be said with 1 or 2 syllables, every and family with 2 or 3, and chocolate and different are usually 2 in everyday speech but 3 when said carefully. The counter shows both counts for these words, and either is correct — use the one that matches how you say it. **How do I check a haiku?** Paste your haiku as three lines. The counter checks the 5-7-5 pattern line by line, shows how many syllables to add or cut, and marks a line that fits only with an alternate pronunciation. You can also check tanka (5-7-5-7-7), cinquain (2-4-6-8-2), limericks, sonnets (10 syllables per line), or any custom pattern. **Can it tell me which syllable is stressed?** Yes. For every word in the dictionary, the main stressed syllable is shown in bold, for example beau·ti·ful or ba·nan·a. Type a single word to see its stress spelled out, and use the word finder to list words by stress position. **Does it check iambic pentameter and meter?** Yes. Each line of a poem is scanned: stressed syllables are shown in bold and the closest meter is named, such as iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter. It uses dictionary stress for longer words and treats one-syllable words flexibly, the way a reader scans by ear, so treat it as a helpful first reading. **How do I divide a word into syllables?** Split between two consonants (rab·bit), before a single consonant after a long vowel (ba·by), after a single consonant after a short stressed vowel (riv·er), and keep consonant + le together (ta·ble). Keep digraphs like ch, sh and th together, and split compound words and prefixes or suffixes first (base·ball, re·play). The counter shows the division of every word it knows. **Can I find words with a certain number of syllables?** Yes. Open the Find words by syllables tab, choose 1 to 7+ syllables, and filter by part of speech, topic, how common the word is, stress position, and starting or ending letters. Tap a word for a short definition, or copy the whole list. **What are open and closed syllables?** An open syllable ends in a vowel, which usually makes the vowel long, as in go or ba·by. A closed syllable ends in a consonant, which usually makes the vowel short, as in cat or rab·bit. They are two of the six syllable types taught in reading: closed, open, silent e, vowel team, r-controlled, and consonant-le. **What reading level does it show?** For texts of 10 words or more it shows the Flesch reading ease score (higher is easier; 60–70 is plain English) and the Flesch–Kincaid grade level, both calculated from sentence length and syllables per word. **Is it free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

(for example `steps`) ## What is the Atbash cipher? The **Atbash cipher** swaps each letter with its mirror image in the alphabet: the first letter with the last, the second with the second to last, and so on. A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, and M and N swap in the middle. Nothing else is involved: there is no key and no number to choose. Because the swap works both ways, **encoding and decoding are the same step**, so this tool has no Encode or Decode switch. Atbash began as a cipher for the Hebrew alphabet and is one of the oldest known letter ciphers. Today it turns up in puzzle books, escape rooms, treasure hunts and television mysteries, often as the first code a solver learns. ## How to use the Atbash cipher decoder and translator 1. Type or paste your text. The Atbash version appears below as you type. 2. To decode, paste Atbash text in the same box: the result is the original message. Capital and small letters keep their case; spaces, digits and punctuation do not change. 3. Press **Copy**, or **Use as input** to flip the result back and check it. Open **Step by step** to see the mirrored alphabet and the working for each letter, or **Letter frequencies** to compare a message’s letters with English. If a text is not Atbash after all, **Crack it** tries all 312 single-alphabet keys of the affine cipher (every Caesar shift is among them) and **Which cipher is this?** suggests what else it might be. A link such as `?text=Svool` opens the tool already filled in. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the Atbash cipher?** A cipher that swaps every letter with its mirror in the alphabet: A with Z, B with Y, C with X and so on, up to M with N. It has no key. **How do you decode the Atbash cipher?** Apply Atbash again. Because each letter swaps with its partner, the same step that encodes a message also decodes it. Paste the code into the tool and read the result. **What does HELLO look like in Atbash?** HELLO becomes SVOOL: H and S, E and V, L and O are mirror pairs. **What is the Atbash formula?** With A = 0 to Z = 25, the Atbash letter is 25 minus the letter's number. Counting from A = 1, it is 27 minus the number. **Where does the name Atbash come from?** From the Hebrew alphabet: aleph, the first letter, swaps with tav, the last, and bet, the second, swaps with shin, the second to last. Aleph-tav-bet-shin gives at-bash. **Is Atbash in the Bible?** Yes. In the Book of Jeremiah, Sheshach (25:26 and 51:41) is the Atbash form of Babel, and Leb Kamai (51:1) is the Atbash form of Kasdim, the Chaldeans. **Is Atbash the same as ROT13?** No. Both decode themselves, but ROT13 turns the alphabet halfway round (A to N), while Atbash mirrors it (A to Z). They pair different letters. **Does Atbash change numbers and punctuation?** No. Only the letters A to Z are swapped. Digits, spaces and punctuation stay the same, and letters keep their case. **Can the Atbash cipher be cracked?** There is nothing to crack, because it has no key: anyone who suspects Atbash can read the message at once. If the result is not English, the tool's Crack it section tries every Caesar and affine key instead. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is the Caesar cipher? The **Caesar cipher** (also called the **Caesar shift** or shift cipher) replaces every letter with the letter a fixed number of places further along the alphabet. With a shift of 3, A becomes D, B becomes E and C becomes F. At the end of the alphabet you wrap around to the start, so X becomes A, Y becomes B and Z becomes C. To read the message again you shift every letter back by the same number. The number of places, from 1 to 25, is the whole key. It is the simplest substitution cipher there is, which makes it the classic first step into codes: escape rooms, treasure hunts, classroom puzzles and geocaches use it all the time. It is also very easy to break, and this tool shows you how. ## How to use the Caesar cipher decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** to hide a message or **Decode** to read one. 2. Set the **shift** with the − and + buttons or type a number from 1 to 25. The default, 3, is the shift the cipher is famous for. 3. Type or paste your text. The result appears as you type; capital and small letters stay as they are, and spaces, digits and punctuation pass through unchanged. 4. **Copy** the result, or press **Decode this** to send it back through the other way and check it. Below the result are four sections you can open: - **Crack it: I don’t know the key** tries all 25 shifts and ranks them by how much the result looks like English, using letter patterns and our dictionary. The right answer is almost always at the top. Press **Use shift** to apply it. - **Step by step** draws a cipher wheel turned to your shift, the plain and cipher alphabets lined up, and the arithmetic for the first letters of your text. - **Letter frequencies** counts the letters in your text and puts them next to typical English, the method code breakers use on longer messages. - **Which cipher is this?** guesses what kind of code a message uses, if you are not sure it is a Caesar shift at all. You can also open the tool already filled in from a link: `?text=Khoor&mode=decode&shift=3` decodes a message straight away, and `&open=crack` opens the cracker. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the Caesar cipher?** The Caesar cipher replaces every letter with the letter a fixed number of places further along the alphabet, wrapping from Z back to A. With a shift of 3, A becomes D and HELLO becomes KHOOR. **How do I decode a Caesar cipher?** Shift every letter back by the same number used to encode it. In the tool, choose Decode, set the shift and paste the message. If you do not know the shift, open Crack it: the tool tries all 25 shifts and puts the one that reads as English at the top. **How do you solve a Caesar cipher without the key?** Try all 25 shifts and keep the one that gives real words, or count the letters and assume the most common one stands for E. With a sentence or more, only one shift reads as English. **What shift did Julius Caesar use?** According to the Roman historian Suetonius, Caesar used a shift of three, so that D stood for A. That is why 3 is the default shift. **How many keys does a Caesar cipher have?** Only 25 useful ones, the shifts 1 to 25. A shift of 26 (or 0) leaves the text unchanged. That tiny number is why the cipher is so easy to break. **What is the difference between the Caesar cipher and ROT13?** ROT13 is a Caesar cipher with a fixed shift of 13. Because 13 is half of 26, applying it twice gives back the original, so the same step encodes and decodes. **What is a Caesar cipher wheel?** Two alphabet rings, one inside the other, that turn. Line up the inner ring at your shift and every plain letter on the outside sits next to its cipher letter. The Step by step section of the tool draws one for any shift. **Does the Caesar cipher change numbers and punctuation?** No. Only the 26 letters A to Z are shifted. Digits, spaces and punctuation stay as they are, and capital and small letters keep their case. **Is the Caesar cipher a substitution cipher?** Yes. It is the simplest kind of substitution cipher: each letter is always replaced by the same other letter, and the replacement alphabet is just the normal alphabet moved along. **Is my text private?** Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is ROT13? **ROT13** (“rotate by 13 places”) replaces every letter with the letter 13 places further along the alphabet, wrapping around from Z to A. A becomes N, B becomes O, and N becomes A again. Because the alphabet has 26 letters and 13 is exactly half, doing ROT13 twice brings you back where you started. That makes it unusual among ciphers: **encoding and decoding are the same operation**, so this tool has no Encode or Decode switch. Paste ROT13 text to read it, or plain text to hide it. ROT13 is a [Caesar cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/) with a shift of 13. It was never meant to keep secrets. It hides text from a casual glance, so that a reader has to choose to see a spoiler, a punchline or a puzzle answer. ## How to use the ROT13 decoder and encoder 1. Type or paste your text. The result appears below as you type. 2. Choose a **variant** if you need one: ROT13 for letters (the standard), ROT5 for digits only, ROT18 for letters and digits together, or ROT47 for letters, digits and symbols. 3. Press **Copy**, or **Use as input** to run the result through again (and see that it turns straight back into your original). If a text does not decode with ROT13, it may use a different rotation. Open **Crack it: I don’t know the key** to see all 25 rotations ranked by how much they read like English; that makes it a general rotation cipher decoder. **Step by step** shows the ROT13 wheel and the letter pairs, and **Which cipher is this?** helps when you are not sure what kind of code you have. Links can open the tool filled in, for example `?text=Uryyb&variant=rot13`, and `&open=crack` opens the list of rotations. ## Frequently asked questions **What is ROT13?** ROT13 replaces every letter with the letter 13 places further along the alphabet, so A becomes N and N becomes A. It is a Caesar cipher with a shift of 13. **How do I decode ROT13?** Apply ROT13 again. Because 13 is half of 26, rotating twice brings every letter back, so paste the text into the tool and the result is the decoded message. **Why are ROT13 encoding and decoding the same?** The alphabet has 26 letters. Moving 13 places and then 13 more is a full circle of 26, which returns each letter to where it started. **What is ROT13 used for?** Hiding spoilers, punchlines, puzzle answers and hints so that readers only see them if they choose to. It is a courtesy, not a way to keep secrets. **Does ROT13 change numbers?** No. Standard ROT13 only rotates letters. ROT5 rotates digits by five places, ROT18 does both, and ROT47 also changes punctuation; all are available in the tool. **What is ROT47?** A rotation of the 94 printable ASCII characters, from ! to ~, by 47 places. Letters, digits and symbols all change, and applying it twice gives the original. **What if my text is not ROT13?** It may be another rotation, such as ROT1 or ROT3. Open Crack it in the tool to see all 25 rotations ranked by how much they read like English. **Is ROT13 secure?** No. It has no key, and anyone can reverse it in a second. Never use it for passwords or private information. **How do I do ROT13 on the command line?** On Linux or macOS, pipe the text through tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'. In Python, codecs.encode(text, 'rot13') does the same. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is the Vigenère cipher? The **Vigenère cipher** encodes a message with a keyword. Each letter of the keyword stands for a Caesar shift (A = 0, B = 1 … Z = 25), and the keyword is repeated along the message so that every letter gets its own shift. Because the shift keeps changing, the same plain letter can turn into different cipher letters, and the simple tricks that break a [Caesar cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/) stop working. That is why it is called a **polyalphabetic** cipher: it uses several cipher alphabets instead of one. For about three hundred years it had a reputation as unbreakable, and in French it was nicknamed *le chiffre indéchiffrable*, “the indecipherable cipher”. It is not, and the tool above shows how it is broken. The name is said “vee-zhuh-NAIR”, after the French writer Blaise de Vigenère. ## How to use the Vigenère cipher decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** or **Decode**. 2. Type the **keyword**. Only its letters count, so “Lemon”, “LEMON” and “le mon” are the same key. 3. Type or paste the message. The result updates as you type. Spaces, digits and punctuation are copied as they are and do not use up a key letter, which is how most puzzles and textbooks do it. 4. Copy the result, or press **Decode this** to check it decodes back. **Don’t know the key?** Open **Crack it: I don’t know the key**. The tool measures which key length fits the message best, works out each letter of the keyword, and lists the best keys with a preview of each. Press **Use this key**, and if a letter or two is still wrong, correct it in the Keyword box; the decoded text updates as you type. The **Step by step** section lines the keyword up under your message and shows the rows of the Vigenère square it uses, and **Letter frequencies** shows how flat the letter counts of a Vigenère message are. Links can open the tool filled in: `?text=LXFOPV&key=LEMON&mode=decode` decodes straight away, and `&open=crack` opens the cracker. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the Vigenère cipher?** A cipher that uses a keyword to give each letter its own Caesar shift. The keyword repeats along the message, and each key letter (A = 0, B = 1 … Z = 25) says how far to shift the letter it sits under. **How do I decode a Vigenère cipher with the key?** Write the keyword under the code, repeating it and skipping spaces, and shift each letter back by its key letter. In the tool, choose Decode, type the keyword and paste the message. **Can you decode a Vigenère cipher without the key?** Yes, if the message is long enough. Open Crack it in the tool: it finds the key length with the index of coincidence, works out each key letter from letter frequencies and shows the best keys. Plan on about 20 letters of code per key letter. **How do you find the key length of a Vigenère cipher?** Split the code into columns for each possible length and measure how English-like each column's letter counts are (the index of coincidence). At the right length every column is a plain Caesar shift and the score jumps. Repeated letter groups (the Kasiski test) point to the same length. **What is the Vigenère table?** A 26 by 26 square of alphabets, each row shifted one place from the row above, also called the tabula recta. The key letter picks the row, the message letter picks the column, and the cipher letter is where they meet. **How do you pronounce Vigenère?** Roughly vee-zhuh-NAIR, after the sixteenth-century French writer Blaise de Vigenère. **Who invented the Vigenère cipher?** Giovan Battista Bellaso described it in 1553. Blaise de Vigenère published a stronger autokey cipher in 1586, and the repeating-key cipher later became known by his name. **Is the Vigenère cipher secure?** No. It was broken in the nineteenth century and a computer cracks a typical message in a fraction of a second. Only a truly random key as long as the message and never reused, a one-time pad, makes it unbreakable. **Why do spaces and punctuation not change?** The tool shifts letters only and does not use up a key letter on spaces, digits or punctuation, which is the usual convention. Paste a code exactly as you received it so the key stays lined up. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

The name is the rule itself: A goes with 1 and Z goes with 26. You will also see it called the **letter to number cipher**, the alphabet number code, or simply numbers for letters. It is the first code most people learn, because there is nothing to memorize and nothing to agree on in advance. That makes it a favorite for escape rooms, treasure hunts, birthday puzzles and classroom code breaking. For example, **MEET ME AT NOON** in A1Z26 is `13-5-5-20 13-5 1-20 14-15-15-14`. ## How to use the A1Z26 decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** to turn letters into numbers, or **Decode** to turn numbers back into letters. 2. Type or paste your text. When you decode, the numbers of one word can be joined by dashes, commas or dots, like `8-5-12-12-15`, and a space then starts a new word. If the numbers are separated by single spaces only, like `8 5 12 12 15`, they are read as one word, and a slash or a double space starts the next one. 3. Read the result as you type, then tap **Copy**. When encoding, the tool joins the letters of a word with dashes and separates words with spaces, which is the most common way to write A1Z26. Numbers outside 1 to 26 and punctuation are skipped, and accented letters are written as plain ones (é as 5). The lookup table in the tool shows which number became which letter, so you can check a puzzle step by step. And if you are holding a string of numbers and are not sure it is A1Z26 at all, the cipher helper can suggest which code it looks like. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the A1Z26 cipher?** A1Z26 is a simple cipher that replaces each letter with its position in the alphabet: A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on up to Z=26. Letters in a word are usually joined with dashes and words separated by spaces, so HI is 8-9. **How do you decode A1Z26?** Replace each number with the letter at that position in the alphabet: 1 is A, 13 is M, 26 is Z. In the tool, choose Decode and paste the numbers; dashes, spaces, commas or slashes all work as separators. **What does A1Z26 stand for?** The name is the rule itself: A is 1 and Z is 26. It is also called the letter to number cipher or the alphabet number code. **Is there a quick way to remember the A1Z26 numbers?** Learn every fifth letter: E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20 and Y=25 (the made-up word EJOTY). Any other letter is one or two steps from one of them. **What is reverse A1Z26?** Reverse A1Z26 counts from the other end, so Z=1, Y=2 and A=26. It equals Atbash followed by A1Z26: decode the numbers normally, then run the result through an Atbash decoder. **What if the A1Z26 numbers have no spaces or dashes?** Then the message can often be read in several ways, because 1 and 2 can start a two-digit number. Try the splits that give real words: 851216 can be HEABAF or HELP, and only HELP makes sense. **Is A1Z26 the same as a Caesar cipher?** No. A Caesar cipher shifts letters to other letters, while A1Z26 turns letters into numbers. Puzzles often combine them, along with Atbash, so the numbers do not give the answer away at once. **How can I use A1Z26 in an escape room?** Use it for number locks: a word made of letters before J, such as FACE, becomes a code of single digits (6135). Hide the word in the room and leave a small A=1 card as the hint. **Is A1Z26 secure?** No. It has no key, so anyone who recognizes it can read it. It is great for puzzles, games and teaching, not for private messages. **Is this A1Z26 tool free and private?** Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `steps`) ## What is the Bacon cipher? The **Bacon cipher**, also called the **Baconian cipher** or the biliteral cipher, writes every letter as a group of five symbols that come in only two kinds, usually shown as **A** and **B**. H, for example, is `AABBB`. The English philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon described it in 1605. What makes it special is not the code but where you can put it. Because any two kinds of thing can stand for A and B, a Bacon message can hide inside an ordinary sentence: in two typefaces, in capitals and small letters, in bold and plain text, even in a row of coins showing heads or tails. A reader who does not know to look sees only the sentence. Hiding the fact that a message exists at all is called **steganography**, and the Bacon cipher is its best-known example. ## How to use the Bacon cipher encoder and decoder 1. Choose **Encode** to turn text into A/B groups, or **Decode** to turn groups back into letters. 2. To decode, paste the groups. Zeros and ones work as well as A and B, and spaces between the groups are optional: the decoder reads the symbols five at a time. 3. Tap **Copy** to save the result. The lookup table in the tool shows which group became which letter. If your message is hidden in a sentence rather than written as A and B, first turn it into A/B: write A for every letter of one kind and B for every letter of the other (the section on solving below shows how). If you are holding a string of symbols and are not sure it is Bacon at all, the tool’s cipher helper can suggest which code it looks like. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the Bacon cipher?** The Bacon or Baconian cipher writes every letter as a group of five symbols of two kinds, usually A and B. H, for example, is AABBB. Because any two styles can stand for A and B, the code can be hidden inside ordinary text. **How do I decode a Baconian cipher?** Turn the message into A and B, split it into groups of five and look each group up in the Bacon alphabet. In the tool, choose Decode and paste the groups; 0 and 1 work as well as A and B. **What is the Baconian cipher key?** There is no secret key: the key is the Bacon alphabet itself, A = AAAAA, B = AAAAB and so on, which is the numbers 0 to 25 in five binary digits with A for 0 and B for 1. **What is the difference between the 24-letter and 26-letter Bacon alphabets?** Bacon's original 24-letter table gives I and J one code and U and V one code. The modern 26-letter table gives every letter its own code. The two agree up to I and then differ by one code, and by two after U. **How do you hide a message with the Bacon cipher?** Encode the secret, then write a cover sentence with five letters for every secret letter. Write each cover letter in one style for A and another for B, such as small letters and capitals, plain and bold, or two typefaces. **How do I solve a hidden Baconian cipher?** Look for something that comes in exactly two versions, write one as A and the other as B, and decode in groups of five. If you get nonsense, swap A and B; if it goes wrong only after I, try the 24-letter alphabet. **Who invented the Bacon cipher?** The English philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon. It is usually dated to 1605, when he wrote about ciphers in The Advancement of Learning, and he set out the full alphabet in De Augmentis Scientiarum in 1623. **Is the Bacon cipher binary?** Yes, in effect. Each letter is a five-bit binary number with A for 0 and B for 1, which gives 32 possible groups for 26 letters. Computer text uses eight bits per character instead. **Is this Bacon cipher tool free and private?** Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is the rail fence cipher? The **rail fence cipher**, also called the **zigzag cipher**, hides a message by changing the order of its letters, not the letters themselves. You write the message in a zigzag across a number of rows, the “rails” of the fence, and then read the rows one after the other. With 3 rails, **MEETATTHEPARKATNOON** becomes `MAEKOETTHPRANOETATN`. That makes it a **transposition cipher**. Ciphers like the [Caesar cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/) swap each letter for another one (substitution); the rail fence keeps every letter and only moves it. You can see the difference at a glance: a rail fence cipher text has exactly the same letters as the original, just scrambled. ## How to use the rail fence cipher encoder and decoder 1. Choose **Encode** or **Decode**. 2. Set the number of **rails** (the key). Both sides have to use the same number. 3. Type or paste your text. The result updates as you type, and the zigzag view in the tool shows where every letter lands on the fence. 4. Tap **Copy** to save the result. Do not know the number of rails? The tool can crack it for you: it tries every number of rails from 2 to 10, so you only have to spot the result that reads as real words. The section on cracking below explains why that works so well. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the rail fence cipher?** The rail fence or zigzag cipher writes a message diagonally down and up across a number of rows, called rails, then reads the rows one after another. It changes the order of the letters but not the letters themselves. **How do you encode a rail fence cipher?** Write the first letter on the top rail and each next letter one rail lower, turning back up at the bottom rail and down again at the top. Then read the top rail left to right, followed by each rail below it. **How do you decode a rail fence cipher?** Rebuild the fence: mark the zigzag positions for the message length, count how many letters fall on each rail, cut the cipher text into those lengths, fill each rail, and read the zigzag again. The tool does this when you choose Decode and set the rails. **How do you decrypt a rail fence cipher without the key?** Try every number of rails. A message can only use 2 up to one less than its length, and short messages almost always use 2 to 6, so only one attempt will read as words. The tool's crack option tries 2 to 10 rails for you. **How many rails should I use?** Three is the classic choice. More rails scramble a short message more, but the sender and receiver must use the same number, because the number of rails is the key. **What is the cycle of a rail fence cipher?** The zigzag repeats every 2 x (rails - 1) letters. On 3 rails the cycle is 4, which is why a key is sometimes written as height 3, cycle 4. **Is the rail fence a substitution or a transposition cipher?** It is a transposition cipher: every letter stays the same and only moves. A rail fence cipher text therefore has normal English letter frequencies, which helps you recognize it. **Does the rail fence cipher keep spaces?** Most puzzles remove spaces before encoding so word lengths do not give the message away. If you keep them, they are treated as characters and land on the fence like letters. **Is the rail fence cipher secure?** No. It has very few possible keys, so anyone can try them all in a minute. It is a great way to learn how transposition ciphers work. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is the affine cipher? The **affine cipher** turns each letter into a number (A = 0 … Z = 25), multiplies it by a key **a**, adds a second key **b**, and turns the result back into a letter, wrapping around after 25. It is a substitution cipher like the Caesar cipher, with one extra step: the multiplication scrambles the alphabet instead of only sliding it along. The [Caesar cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/) is the affine cipher with a = 1, and [Atbash](https://linguaholic.com/tools/atbash-cipher/) is the affine cipher with a = 25 and b = 25. It is mostly met in math and computer science classes, because it is a friendly way to practice modular arithmetic: encoding needs multiplication mod 26, and decoding needs a modular inverse. ## How to use the affine cipher decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** or **Decode**. 2. Set **a** with the − and + buttons; they step through only the twelve values that work (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25). Set **b** anywhere from 0 to 25. 3. Type or paste the text. Case, spaces, digits and punctuation are kept. 4. Copy the result, or press **Decode this** to check it. **No key?** Open **Crack it: I don’t know the key**: the tool tries all 312 key pairs and ranks them by how much the result reads like English, and **Use a = …, b = …** applies the winner. **Step by step** shows the full cipher alphabet for your keys and the arithmetic for each letter. A link such as `?text=IHHWVC&mode=decode&a=5&b=8` opens the tool filled in. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the affine cipher?** A substitution cipher that numbers the letters from A = 0 to Z = 25, multiplies each by a key a, adds a key b, and takes the result mod 26. The Caesar cipher is the special case a = 1. **What is the affine cipher formula?** Encoding is E(x) = (ax + b) mod 26 and decoding is D(y) = a⁻¹(y - b) mod 26, where a⁻¹ is the modular inverse of a. **How do I decrypt an affine cipher?** Find the inverse of a (for a = 5 it is 21), subtract b from each cipher letter's number, multiply by the inverse and take the remainder mod 26. In the tool, choose Decode and enter a and b. **Which values of a can I use?** Only numbers that share no factor with 26: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25. Any other a sends two letters to the same cipher letter, so the message could not be decoded. **How many keys does the affine cipher have?** 12 values of a times 26 values of b gives 312 key pairs, one of which (a = 1, b = 0) leaves the text unchanged. **How do you crack an affine cipher without the key?** Try all 312 keys and keep the one that reads as English, which the tool's Crack it section does instantly. By hand, guess two letters (the most common cipher letters are likely E and T) and solve two equations for a and b. **What is a modular inverse?** The number that undoes a multiplication in clock arithmetic. The inverse of 5 mod 26 is 21, because 5 × 21 = 105, which is 4 × 26 + 1. **Is Atbash an affine cipher?** Yes. Atbash is the affine cipher with a = 25 and b = 25, since 25x + 25 mod 26 equals 25 - x. **Is my text private?** Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `steps`) ## What is the Polybius square? The **Polybius square** lays the alphabet out in a grid of five rows and five columns and writes each letter as two digits: its row and then its column. A sits in row 1, column 1, so it is `11`; H is in row 2, column 3, so it is `23`. The whole word HELLO becomes `23 15 31 31 34`. The alphabet has 26 letters and the grid has 25 cells, so two letters have to share. In the standard English square, I and J share a cell. The idea goes back to the Greek historian Polybius, which is why it is also called the **Polybius cipher**, the Polybius checkerboard, or simply the 5×5 grid cipher. ## How to use the Polybius square decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** to turn letters into number pairs, or **Decode** to turn pairs back into letters. 2. Type your message, or paste the numbers. Each letter is a pair of digits from 1 to 5, written with a space between pairs. 3. Tap **Copy** to save the result. The grid view in the tool shows the row and column of each letter, so you can follow the steps. If you are not sure your numbers are a Polybius square at all, check the digits: if every digit is between 1 and 5 and the total count is even, it probably is. The tool’s cipher helper can make that guess for you. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the Polybius square?** The Polybius square is a 5×5 grid of letters that turns each letter into two digits: its row and its column. A is 11, B is 12 and Z is 55. Because the grid has 25 cells, I and J share one. **How do you read a Polybius square?** Read the row first and the column second. In 23, the 2 means row 2 and the 3 means column 3, which is H in the standard grid. **How do you decode a Polybius square cipher?** Split the digits into pairs and look each pair up in the grid: first digit for the row, second for the column. In the tool, choose Decode and paste the pairs with spaces between them. **Why do I and J share a cell in the Polybius square?** The alphabet has 26 letters and the grid only 25 cells, so two letters have to share. I and J is the usual choice; some versions merge C and K instead, as the tap code does. **How do you make a Polybius square with a keyword?** Write the keyword into the grid first, skipping any repeated letters, then fill the remaining cells with the unused letters in alphabetical order. Both sides need the same keyword to read the message. **What is a 6×6 Polybius square?** A 6×6 square has 36 cells, enough for all 26 letters and the digits 0 to 9, so no letters have to share. Its pairs use the digits 1 to 6. **Who invented the Polybius square?** It is named after the Greek historian Polybius, who in the second century BC described a torch-signaling system built on a letter grid. He credited the method to Cleoxenus and Democleitus and said he improved it. **What is the difference between the Polybius square and tap code?** Tap code uses the same 5×5 grid but drops K (tapped as C) and keeps J, and it sends the row and column as groups of taps instead of digits. **Is the Polybius square cipher secure?** No. Each letter always becomes the same pair of digits, so it can be broken by counting which pairs appear most often. It is ideal for puzzles, escape rooms and worksheets. **Is this Polybius square tool free and private?** Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

To send a letter you tap its row number, pause, then tap its column number: two taps and then three taps mean row 2, column 3, which is H. Because the grid has only 25 cells, the letter K is dropped and tapped as C. It is also called the **knock code**, and it is famous as the code American prisoners of war tapped through the walls of their cells in Vietnam. All you need is something to tap on and the ability to count to five, which is exactly why it worked there. ## How to use the tap code translator 1. Choose **Encode** to turn text into taps, or **Decode** to turn taps back into text. 2. When encoding, each letter appears as two groups of dots: the row and then the column. HELLO is `.. ... / . ..... / ... . / ... . / ... ....`. 3. To decode, paste dot groups in the same layout: a space between the two groups of a letter and a slash between letters. Two slashes mark a new word, which is how the tool writes word breaks. Row-column numbers such as `2-3 1-5` work too, with a single slash between words. 4. Tap **Copy** to save the result. The grid view in the tool shows which row and column each letter comes from. Since K becomes C, a decoded message may show C where you expect K: KICK comes back as CICC. Real tap code readers fix that from context, and so should you. ## Frequently asked questions **What is tap code?** Tap code spells out letters with knocks using a 5×5 grid. You tap the row number, pause, then tap the column number, so two taps and then three taps mean H. **How does tap code work?** The letters A to Z, without K, fill a 5×5 grid in order. Each letter is sent as two groups of taps: the first for its row and the second for its column, with a longer pause between letters. **Why is there no K in tap code?** Twenty-six letters do not fit in 25 cells, so K is dropped and tapped as C, which often makes the same sound. Readers fix it from context. **How do you learn the tap code alphabet?** Remember the first letter of each row, A, F, L, Q and V, and count the rest in alphabetical order, skipping K. That is the whole grid. **How do you decode tap code?** Count each group of taps and write the numbers down in pairs, then look each pair up in the grid: row first, column second. In the tool, choose Decode and paste dot groups with a slash between letters. **Who used tap code?** It is best known from American prisoners of war in Vietnam, who began spreading it in Hanoi's Hoa Lo prison in June 1965. Prisoners in tsarist Russia are said to have used a similar knock code. **Is tap code the same as Morse code?** No. Morse code uses short and long signals with a different pattern for each letter. Tap code needs only one kind of tap and the grid, so it is slower but much easier to learn and to hear through a wall. **How do you send numbers in tap code?** The grid has no digits, so numbers are spelled out as words, such as TWO instead of 2. **Is this tap code translator free and private?** Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

(for example `crack`) ## What is a substitution cipher? In a **simple substitution cipher** every letter of the alphabet is swapped for another letter, and the swap never changes: if A becomes Q once, it becomes Q every time. The key is the scrambled alphabet itself, the **cipher alphabet**, written under the normal one. Because one fixed alphabet is used for the whole message, it is also called a **monoalphabetic** substitution cipher. A puzzle that hides a quotation this way is a **cryptogram**. The [Caesar cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/caesar-cipher/), [Atbash](https://linguaholic.com/tools/atbash-cipher/) and the [affine cipher](https://linguaholic.com/tools/affine-cipher/) are all substitution ciphers whose alphabet follows a simple rule. A general substitution cipher can use *any* order of the 26 letters, which gives an enormous number of keys, and yet a few sentences of code are usually enough to solve it by hand. ## How to use the substitution cipher decoder and encoder 1. Choose **Encode** or **Decode**. 2. Enter the **cipher alphabet**: all 26 letters, each once. The first letter is what A becomes, the second is what B becomes, and so on. You can also type a keyword in **Or build it from a keyword**, or press **Random alphabet** for a fresh scrambled key. 3. Type or paste the message. Case, spaces, digits and punctuation are kept. 4. Copy the result. To share the key, copy the cipher alphabet from the key box. ## Frequently asked questions **What is a substitution cipher?** A cipher that replaces every letter with another letter according to a fixed cipher alphabet. If A becomes Q once, it becomes Q everywhere in the message. **How do I decode a substitution cipher without the key?** Paste the message, open the Cryptogram solver and press Solve. It pairs common code letters with common English letters, then keeps swapping letters while the text reads more like English. You can type corrections under any code letter and solve again. **How do you solve a cryptogram by hand?** Count the letters (the most common is often E), look at one-letter words (A or I) and repeated three-letter words (THE, AND), and use word shapes such as double letters. Each correct letter you place reveals more words. **How many keys does a substitution cipher have?** Any order of the 26 letters can be a key, which gives 26 factorial, about 4 x 10^26, possible alphabets. Even so, frequency analysis breaks it because each letter keeps its own pattern. **What is a keyword cipher?** A substitution cipher whose alphabet is built from a keyword: the keyword's letters without repeats, followed by the rest of the alphabet in order. Type a keyword into the tool and it builds that alphabet for you. **What is the difference between monoalphabetic and polyalphabetic substitution?** A monoalphabetic cipher uses one cipher alphabet for the whole message, so letter counts survive. A polyalphabetic cipher, such as Vigenère, switches between several alphabets, which flattens the counts and makes it much harder to solve. **Is the Caesar cipher a substitution cipher?** Yes. Caesar, Atbash and the affine cipher are substitution ciphers whose alphabet follows a simple rule, so the cryptogram solver cracks them too. **How long does a message need to be for the solver to work?** A sentence or two with the spaces kept is usually enough. Under about 40 letters, or without spaces, several answers can look right, so pin the letters you are sure of and solve again. **Is my text private?** Yes. Encoding, decoding and solving all happen in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources The code breaker's English letter frequencies and word checks come from Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists.

A **word search maker** turns a list of words into a printable word search puzzle.

It’s made for teachers, parents, parties, and anyone who loves puzzles, and every puzzle is free to print. ## How to make a word search 1. Choose a **word list**: a theme, random words from the dictionary, or *My own words*. 2. Pick a **difficulty** — it chooses the words (for themes) and the directions they run. 3. Edit the title or the words if you like, and choose a grid size (Auto fits the words). 4. Tap **New puzzle** for a different layout, then **Print / PDF**. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I make my own word search?** Choose 'My own words' (or just edit any list), type your words one per line, pick a difficulty and grid size, and the puzzle is built instantly. Tap Print / PDF to get a clean printable puzzle plus an answer key. **What themes are there?** There are 48 ready-made themes with more than 2,000 hand-picked words — holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Valentine's Day, the four seasons, animals, dinosaurs, space, the body, food, sports, jobs, pirates, fairy tales, and more. Each theme has an easy, medium, and hard word list. **What do the difficulty levels do?** For themes, the level picks the words: easy has 12 short words, medium 15 longer ones, hard 18 long words. It also sets the directions: easy places words across and down only, medium adds diagonals, and hard also allows backwards words. **Can I print a large print word search?** Yes. Tick 'Large print' before you print and the letters and word list come out bigger — ideal for seniors, young readers, and anyone with low vision. A 10 × 10 or 12 × 12 grid gives the biggest letters. **Can it make a random word search?** Yes. Choose 'Random words from the dictionary' and the maker picks words from a family-friendly list of about 39,000 everyday English words; the difficulty controls how common and how long they are. Tap New words for a fresh set. **Is there a limit on the number of words?** You can add up to 40 words, each 2 to 20 letters. If a word does not fit the grid you chose, the tool tells you so you can pick a larger grid or shorter words. **Can I print it or save a PDF?** Yes. The Print / PDF button opens a clean, ad-free worksheet with the puzzle, a name and date line, a word bank, and a separate answer-key page. From the print dialog you can print it or choose 'Save as PDF'. **Is my word list uploaded anywhere?** No. The whole puzzle is generated in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

A **fill-in-the-blank story** is a word game for two or more people, or for one person and a random word button. One player holds a short story with some of its words missing. Without showing the story, that player asks for words of a certain kind: a noun, an adjective, an animal, a silly name. The words go into the blanks in the order they were given, and then the story is read out loud. Because nobody knew what the words were for, the result is usually ridiculous, and that is the whole point. If you have played Mad Libs®, you already know how it works: these are stories in that style, written by us. There are **274 original stories** here, each with 11 to 16 blanks, for kids, classrooms, parties, holidays, weddings, baby showers and the office. You can play on a phone, print worksheets, or write a story of your own and send it to friends. ## How to play 1. **Pick a story.** Start with **Today’s story**, tap **Surprise me**, search by title, or narrow the list with the occasion menu and the buttons for kids, adults, school, party and more. 2. **Give the words.** The game asks for one word at a time, tells you what kind of word it needs and shows a few examples. Type a word and press **Next word**. If nothing comes to mind, **Suggest a word** picks one that fits. Prefer to see every blank at once? Switch to **All at once**. 3. **Reveal the story.** Tap **Reveal my story** and read it aloud, or let the browser do it with **Read it to me**. The words you gave are highlighted. 4. **Share or play again.** Copy the story as text, as a link that opens your finished story, or as a picture. **New random words** fills the same story again, and **Another story** takes you back to the list. In a hurry? **Instant random story** fills every blank with a random word and shows the result in one tap, and **Fill the rest randomly** finishes a story you have started. ## Frequently asked questions **How do fill-in-the-blank stories work?** Pick a story, then give the words it asks for (a noun, a verb, an adjective, an animal) without reading the story first. When every blank is filled, reveal the finished story and read it aloud. The fun is in how the words land. **How many people do you need to play?** Two or more is best: one person reads the requests and types, the others call out words. You can also play alone and let Suggest a word fill some or all of the blanks. **Can it suggest words for me?** Yes. Suggest a word gives a random word that fits the blank. Nouns come from our dictionary and verbs, adjectives and adverbs from hand-picked lists, always in the right form (plurals, and past tenses like swim → swam). Fill the rest randomly and Instant random story finish a story in one tap. **Can I print the stories?** Yes. Print worksheet gives a one-page sheet with a numbered list of words to collect, a fold line, and the story with numbered gaps. Print several lets you choose up to twelve stories and print them together, each on its own page. You can also print a finished story. **Can I make my own fill-in-the-blank story?** Yes. Tap Write your own, type or paste a story, select a word and tap the kind of blank it should become, or type a label in square brackets like [noun] or [favorite food]. Add blanks for me picks the words for you. Play it, print it, or copy a link to it. **How do I share a finished story?** After the reveal, Copy link to this story makes a link that opens the story with your words in it. Copy as image and Save image make a picture of it, and Copy story copies the text. The story travels inside the link, so nothing is uploaded. **Are there stories for adults and for holidays?** Yes. There are dozens of clean stories for adults (office life, moving, turning forty) and stories for Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, New Year, Valentine's Day, Easter and more, plus weddings, baby showers, birthdays, graduations and retirements. **Is it good for the classroom?** Yes. Students practice nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs while playing, and each request shows what kind of word is needed with examples. Print worksheets for pair work, or project a story and collect words from the whole class. A few stories use simple language for English learners. **Is this the same as Mad Libs?** No. Mad Libs® is a brand of fill-in-the-blank story books and a registered trademark of Penguin Random House LLC. Our stories are played in the same style, but they are our own original stories, and this page is not affiliated with or endorsed by the trademark owner. **Is it free and private?** Yes.

You build yours in four steps: 1. Pick a **pose**: sitting, loaf, sleeping, walking, lying down, stretching, waving, chonky, long cat, in a box, in a mug, in a pumpkin, at a laptop, on a wall, kitten, one line, and more (26 in all). 2. Give the cat a **face**: 23 kinds of eyes, 18 mouths, whiskers, ears, cheeks and a forehead mark such as tabby stripes. 3. Add a **hat** (19 to choose from), **company** (a kitten, two kittens or a friend), something **next to the cat** (23 things, from a ball of yarn to a Christmas tree), and a **speech bubble**. 4. Tap **Copy cat** and paste it anywhere. **Random cat** rolls a new one, and **Copy link** gives you a link that opens the same cat. The parts combine into more than 35 billion different cats, before you even type a speech bubble. Every cat is put together from parts we drew ourselves, so they are free to use anywhere: chats, bios, code comments, README files, greeting cards. ## ASCII cats to copy and paste Prefer a finished **ASCII cat**?

Random cat makes one for you. **How do I copy and paste an ASCII cat?** Tap Copy cat, then paste it into your chat, post or document. In Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack, wrap it in three backticks so the lines stay aligned; the Copy for Discord button does that for you. **Why does my ASCII cat look crooked after pasting?** ASCII art only lines up in a fixed-width font. Put the cat inside a code block, or use a one-line cat or a dot-art cat, which keep their shape in ordinary fonts. **Is there a one-line ASCII cat?** Yes. Choose One line as the pose to build cats such as =^owo^=, or copy one from the list of one-line cats and cat emoticons on the page. **Can I add text to my ASCII cat?** Yes. Type up to 40 characters in the speech bubble field and the cat says it. **Can I use these cats for free?** Yes. Every cat is our own design and free to use anywhere, including social media, code comments and README files. No sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser. **What is the difference between ASCII art and dot art?** ASCII art uses keyboard characters and needs a fixed-width font. Dot art uses braille characters, which are all the same width, so it keeps its shape in more apps. ## Related tools - [ASCII Animal Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-animal-generator/): Build a text animal: choose an animal, a pose, eyes, a hat and a speech bubble, then copy and paste it.

With ready-made ASCII animals, one-line animals and dot-art animals. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-animal-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Symbols & emoji), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 4, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-animal-generator/?animal=fox&eyes=happy&hat=party&say=hello - `animal`: which animal, by its id: for example dog, bunny, bear, fox, owl, fish, turtle, frog, butterfly, dragon, unicorn (the page lists them all) (for example `fox`) - `pose`: one of the animal's poses (each animal has its own, for example sitting, face, small), or line for the one-line version (for example `face`) - `eyes`: round (default), big, happy, sleepy, closed, wink, grumpy, surprised, starry, dizzy, crying, sad, shiny, dots, squint, sparkle, money, worried, angry, love, smiling, fierce, droopy (for example `happy`) - `hat`: none (default), top, party, crown, bow, flower, santa, witch, halo, chef, cowboy, beanie, antlers, bunny, grad, wizard, sombrero, propeller, garland, viking (only on poses that can wear one) (for example `party`) - `item`: thing next to the animal: none (default), heart, plant, gift, balloon, cake, cup, book, pumpkin, tree, moon, rose, umbrella, snowman, butterfly, cactus (for example `balloon`) - `say`: speech bubble text (up to 40 characters) (for example `hello`) - `pair`: 1 adds a second one of the same animal, facing the first (for example `1`) - `flip`: 1 flips the picture left to right (for example `1`) ## How to use the ASCII animal generator The **ASCII animal generator** draws an animal out of plain keyboard characters, such as slashes, brackets and an `o` for each eye, so you can copy it and paste it anywhere you can type. You build yours in four steps: 1. Pick an **animal**: 49 to choose from, in five groups (pets and farm, forest, safari and jungle, water, and birds, bugs and legends). 2. Pick a **pose**. Every animal has its own, such as sitting, a face and a small version, plus a one-line version (258 drawings in all). 3. Change the **eyes** (23 kinds, from happy to sleepy), add a **hat** (19 to choose from), something **next to the animal** (15 things, from a heart to a snowman), a second animal for a pair, and a **speech bubble**. 4. Tap **Copy** and paste it anywhere. **Random** rolls a new animal, and **Copy link** gives you a link that opens the same one. The parts combine into more than 5 million different pictures, before you even type a speech bubble. Every animal is our own drawing, so they are free to use anywhere: chats, bios, code comments, README files, greeting cards. For cats there is a generator of its own, the [ASCII cat generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-cat-generator/). ## ASCII animals to copy and paste Looking for a finished **ASCII animal**? Here is every animal of the generator in each of its poses. Copy one as it is, or rebuild it in the generator above and change the eyes, the hat and the rest.

Random makes one for you. **How do I copy and paste a text animal?** Tap Copy, then paste the animal into your chat, post or document. In chat apps that support code blocks, wrap it in three backticks so the lines stay aligned; the Copy for Discord button does that for you. **Why does my text animal look crooked after pasting?** Animals with several lines only line up in a fixed-width font. Put the animal inside a code block, or use a one-line animal or a dot-art animal, which keep their shape in ordinary fonts. **Which animals can I make?** Dogs, bunnies, bears, foxes, owls, fish, turtles, frogs, butterflies, dragons, unicorns and many more, in five groups: pets and farm, forest, safari and jungle, water, and birds, bugs and legends. Every animal has several poses and a one-line version. **Are there one-line text animals?** Yes. Every animal has a one-line version you can paste into a name, a bio or a message. Choose One line as the pose, or copy one from the list of one-line animals on the page. **How do I make text animals myself?** Start with the outline of the head in brackets or slashes, add two eyes with a gap between them, then the feature that makes the animal: long ears for a bunny, a trunk for an elephant, a fin for a shark. Keep it to a few lines and check it in a fixed-width font. The page walks through an example. **Can I use these animals for free?** Yes. Every animal is our own design and free to use anywhere, including social media, code comments and README files. No sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser. **What is the difference between ASCII art and dot art?** ASCII art uses keyboard characters and needs a fixed-width font. Dot art uses braille characters, which are all the same width, so it keeps its shape in more apps. ## Related tools - [ASCII Cat Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-cat-generator/): Build your own ASCII cat: choose a pose, a face, a hat and a speech bubble, then copy and paste it.

This collection gathers ready-made pieces you can copy with one tap: hearts, stars and moons, cute characters, gifts and cakes for celebrations, decorative dividers, and the classic one-line emoticons. ## How to use it 1. Browse all pieces, or pick a category to narrow them down. 2. Tap **Copy** on the piece you like. 3. Paste it into your message, post, bio, or document. ## Getting multi-line art to line up Pictures that span several lines rely on every character being the same width, which only happens in a **monospace** font. When you paste into Discord, GitHub, Reddit, or any Markdown editor, use the **Code block** button: it wraps the art in ````` so it displays in a monospace font and stays aligned. One-line emoticons like `¯\_(ツ)_/¯` look right anywhere. ## What’s in the collection - **Love & hearts** — big and small hearts and a love letter for messages and cards. - **Nature & sky** — sun, crescent moon, star, mountains, and a Christmas tree. - **Objects** — gift box, birthday cake, coffee mug, trophy, house, book, and more. - **Characters** — a cat face, a robot, and a happy computer. - **Dividers & frames** — lines and borders to separate sections of a post or bio. - **One-line emoticons** — the shrug, table flip, Lenny face, and other internet classics. - **Cats & animals** — cats, bunnies, bears, pandas, dogs, owls, butterflies, fish and more, as dot art and emoji pictures. - **Faces** — smiley, sad, winking and heart-eyed faces, plus a friendly ghost. - **Birthday & party** — cakes, gifts, balloons, crowns and a trophy. - **Holidays** — Christmas trees and snowmen, pumpkins, ghosts and bats, shamrocks, Easter eggs, and the stars and stripes. - **Big words** — Love, Happy Birthday, Thank You, Good Morning and more in big dot letters and emoji letters. - **Sparkles** — sparkle symbols, twinkling lines and sparkle frames for your own text. - **One-line art** — a fish, a rose, a sword, a cat and other tiny drawings that fit on one line. In total there are **359 pieces** in 13 categories. Each one is marked **Any app** (it keeps its shape in chats, posts and bios) or **Fixed-width font** (it needs a code block to line up). Use the search box to find a subject, or the type filter to see only dot art, emoji art, ASCII art or one-liners. ## Dot art **Dot art**, also called braille art, is drawn with braille characters. Each character is a little grid of two by four dots, and any of the eight dots can be on or off, so a row of them works like a strip of pixels. All braille characters have the same width, including the empty one, which is why dot art stays lined up in places where ordinary ASCII art falls apart: text messages, Instagram, TikTok, Discord without a code block. Most dot pieces here come in three sizes (S, M and L); the small ones fit a phone screen with room to spare.

Square emoji in different colors make the cleanest pictures, like tiny pixel art, and because every emoji is the same width the picture cannot go crooked. Each picture here is at most 11 emoji wide, so a line never wraps on a phone.

For dogs, bunnies, bears, fish and 45 more, there is the [ASCII Animal Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-animal-generator/). ## Text dividers and borders A **divider** is a decorative line that separates parts of a bio, a post or a server description. A **border** goes around your text: a line above and below it, a pair of ornaments on each side, or a box. Lines and side ornaments work in any app; boxes need a fixed-width font, because their corners only meet when every character has the same width.

To put a border around your own words, open [Frame your text](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=frame). ## Sparkles Sparkle lines are made of small star and dot characters. They are popular in bios and usernames because they are short, work in every app, and frame a name without competing with it.

The maker writes it in **dot letters** (compact, for any app), **emoji letters** (each pixel is the emoji you choose; four letters go on a line, or three for small phones) or **block letters** (solid, for code blocks). Type `<3` for a heart.

It has three parts: [Big letters](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=letters) turns any word into dot, emoji or block lettering, [Emoji picture](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=emoji) draws a picture with the emoji and background you pick, and [Frame your text](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=frame) designs a border around your words. For big ASCII lettering in 25 fonts, use the [ASCII Art Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-art-generator/). ## Small text art Small text art is what fits in a chat bubble, a bio or a comment without wrapping: one-liners, dividers, and pictures of a few short lines. The dot art here has a small size (S) that is about 10 characters wide and 5 lines tall, and the small emoji heart is only 7 emoji wide.

They arrive looking the way they look here. An ASCII picture only lines up in WhatsApp if you put three backticks (```) before and after it, which switches that message to a fixed-width font; iMessage has no such option, so use the **For chats** button there.

The photo is converted in your browser and is not uploaded. Faces and objects with strong contrast against a plain background give the clearest results. ## Text art for names and nicknames For a username, a game nickname or a profile name, a single decorated line works best, because name fields do not allow line breaks. [Frame your text](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=frame) has ornaments made for this: the Ornate, Royal and Wings frames, sparkles, stars and brackets. Type the name, pick a frame and copy. Keep in mind that some games and apps limit which characters a name may contain. Ornate ꧁ your name ꧂ Royal ꧁༺ your name ༻꧂ Wings ༺ your name ༻ Star wrap ★彡 your text 彡★ Sparkle wrap ✧˖° your text °˖✧ Corner brackets 【 your text 】 ## Where text art works: a guide by app Whether a piece arrives intact depends on the font the app uses and on whether it offers a fixed-width (“code”) style. This table sums it up. | App | Dot art, emoji art, one-liners | ASCII pictures | Good to know | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | iMessage and SMS | Yes | No fixed-width option | Art with emoji or dots is sent as a longer message than plain letters. | | WhatsApp | Yes | Yes, between three backticks | Type ``` before and after the art to get the fixed-width style. | | Discord | Yes | Yes, in a code block | The Code block button here adds the backticks. Messages hold up to 2,000 characters. | | Instagram | Yes | No fixed-width option | A bio holds 150 characters, so pick small pieces and one-liners. | | TikTok | Yes | No fixed-width option | A bio holds 80 characters: dividers, sparkles and one-liners fit best. | | X | Yes | No fixed-width option | A standard post holds 280 characters; every emoji and dot character counts. | | Reddit | Yes | In posts and comments, as a code block | Reddit chat has no code block; use dot art there. | | Slack and Telegram | Yes | Yes, between three backticks | Both show text between ``` in a fixed-width font. | ## Why text art looks broken after pasting There are four usual causes, and each has a fix. - **The font is not fixed-width.** In most apps an “i” is narrower than an “m”, so columns drift apart. Fix: paste ASCII pictures into a code block, or use the **For chats** button, which redraws the picture in dots. - **Spaces were removed.** Some apps trim spaces at the start of a line or squeeze several into one. Dot art and emoji art contain no ordinary spaces, which is why they survive. - **Lines wrapped.** A line that is wider than the screen breaks in two and the picture shears. Fix: choose a smaller size (S or M for dot art) or a narrower piece. - **Characters show as empty boxes.** The device has no font for that symbol. The pieces here stick to characters that current phones and computers can show; very old devices may still miss some. ## Make your own Want your name or a photo as text art? The [ASCII Art Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-art-generator/) turns any word into big ASCII lettering in 25 fonts and converts images into ASCII art. For single symbols, see our [heart symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/heart-symbols/), [star symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/star-symbols/), and [arrow symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/arrow-symbols/). The **Make your own** tab above has three makers. [Big letters](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=letters) writes your text in dot, emoji or block letters. [Emoji picture](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=emoji) redraws any of the pixel pictures with an emoji and a background of your choice. [Frame your text](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/?make=frame) puts sparkles, hearts, brackets, lines or a box around your words. Each result shows how many lines and characters it has, which helps with bio and post limits. ## Free to use Every multi-line piece here was created for Linguaholic, and you’re welcome to copy and use it in your own messages, posts, and projects. It all runs in your browser, with no sign-up. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I copy text art?** Tap Copy on any piece and it goes straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into a message, post, bio, or document. **Why does text art look messed up when I paste it?** Multi-line text art needs a fixed-width (monospace) font to line up. Use the Code block button for Discord, GitHub, Reddit, or any Markdown editor — it wraps the art in ``` so it displays in a monospace font. **Can I make my own text art?** Yes. Use our ASCII Art Generator to turn any word into big ASCII lettering in 25 fonts, or to convert a photo into ASCII art. **Is the text art free to use?** Yes. The pieces in this collection were created for Linguaholic, and you're free to copy and use them in your own messages, posts, and projects. **What is dot art?** Dot art, or braille art, is a picture drawn with braille characters. Each character holds up to eight dots, and all of them have the same width, so the picture stays aligned in chats, posts and bios where ordinary ASCII art would not. **Which text art works in iMessage, Instagram and TikTok?** Pieces marked Any app: dot art, emoji art and one-liners. Those apps have no fixed-width font, so ASCII pictures made of letters and symbols go crooked there. Use the For chats button to get an ASCII picture as dot art. **How do I paste text art in Discord?** Dot art, emoji art and one-liners can be pasted as they are. For ASCII pictures, use the Code block button: it wraps the art in three backticks so Discord shows it in a fixed-width font. **How do I write my name in emoji letters?** Open Make your own, choose Big letters, type your name and pick Emoji letters. Choose the emoji to draw with and a background, then tap Copy. Four letters go on a line by default; choose three to be safe on a small phone. **How do I put a border around my text?** Open Make your own and choose Frame your text. Type your words and pick a frame: sparkles, hearts, brackets, a line above and below, or a box. Lines and ornaments work in any app; boxes need a fixed-width font. **How small can text art be?** One-liners and dividers are a single line. Most dot art here comes in three sizes; the small size is about 10 characters wide and 5 lines tall. Each maker shows the number of lines and characters, which helps with bio and post limits. **Is there a text art generator on this page?** Yes. The Make your own tab has three makers: Big letters turns your text into dot, emoji or block lettering, Emoji picture draws a picture with the emoji you choose, and Frame your text puts a border around your words. **How do I send text art on WhatsApp?** Copy a piece marked Any app (emoji pictures, dot art, big words, one-liners) and paste it into the chat. For an ASCII picture, type three backticks before and after it so WhatsApp shows it in a fixed-width font. **How do I turn a photo into text art?** Use the image mode of our ASCII Art Generator: pick a photo from your device and it is redrawn in characters in your browser, without being uploaded. ## Related tools - [Heart Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/heart-symbols/): Tap to copy heart symbols and heart emoji — ♥ ❤ ♡ 💕 🖤 and dozens more — for Instagram, TikTok, bios, usernames, and messages. - [Star Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/star-symbols/): Tap to copy star symbols and star emoji — ★ ☆ ✦ ✧ ⭐ ✨ and many more — for bios, captions, ratings, usernames, and messages. - [Cross Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cross-symbols/): Tap to copy cross symbols — ✝️ ☦️ † ‡ ✚ and more — for bios, usernames, tributes, and messages. - [Infinity Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/infinity-symbols/): Tap to copy the infinity symbol and its variations — ∞ ♾️ and more — for bios, captions, tattoo ideas, and messages. - [Flower Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/flower-symbols/): Tap to copy flower symbols and flower emoji — ✿ ❀ ❁ 🌸 🌷 and many more — for aesthetic bios, captions, and messages. - [Arrow Symbols](https://linguaholic.com/tools/arrow-symbols/): Tap to copy arrow symbols — → ← ↑ ↓ ➜ ⇒ ➤ and many more, in every direction and style — for documents, bios, and messages. --- # Anagram Solver > Solve any anagram from a 179,000-word list: every word that uses all your letters, the shorter words by length, two- and three-word anagrams of names and phrases, and a check for any two words. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/anagram-solver/ - Type: free online tool (Word games & fun), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/anagram-solver/?q=the+morse+code&mode=phrase - `q`: the letters, word, name or phrase to solve (up to 60 characters; the Solve tab uses up to 15 letters with ? or * as a blank, the Names & phrases tab up to 30 letters). A value with several words opens the Names & phrases tab unless mode is given (for example `listen`) - `mode`: the tab: solve (single words: exact anagrams, then shorter words; the default), phrase (anagrams of one to three words for a name or phrase; also accepts names, multi or generator) or check (compare two words; also accepts compare) (for example `phrase`) - `keep`: phrase tab only: one or more words that every anagram must contain, separated by spaces; the search uses the letters that are left (for example `west`) - `with`: check tab only: the second word or phrase, compared with q; giving it opens the check tab (for example `silent`) ## What the anagram solver does The **Anagram Solver** takes the letters you type and lists every English word that uses all of them, then every shorter word they can make. It can also turn a name or phrase into anagrams of two or three real words, and check whether two words are anagrams of each other. It searches about 179,000 words and runs in your browser. An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging all the letters of another, using each letter exactly once: *listen* becomes *silent*. ## How to solve an anagram 1. Open the **Solve** tab and type your letters or a word, up to 15 letters. Capitals and spaces don’t matter. 2. The box at the top shows the exact anagrams: the words that use every letter. Below it, the shorter words are grouped by length, longest first. 3. Tap a word to see what it means or to copy it. “Copy list” copies all the exact anagrams at once. 4. Missing a letter? Type **?** for a blank that can stand for any letter. Tick **Common words only** to hide the rarer dictionary words. Worked example: for *listen*, the solver finds 5 exact anagrams (enlist, inlets, silent, tinsel, elints) and 88 shorter words, such as inlet, lines, tiles. With a blank, *liste?* matches 19 common six-letter words, including listed, itself, titles, stifle. ## Frequently asked questions **What is an anagram?** An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging all the letters of another one, using each letter exactly once. Listen and silent are anagrams, and so are dormitory and dirty room. **How do I solve an anagram?** Type the letters into the Solve tab. The words that use every letter are listed first as exact anagrams, followed by the shorter words the letters can make, grouped by length. By hand, it helps to pull out common endings such as -ing or -ed and to pair consonants such as ch, st and th. **Can it solve anagrams with more than one word?** Yes. The Names & phrases tab splits the letters into one, two or three real words, for phrases of up to 30 letters. Anagrams made of everyday words are listed first, and you can keep a word you like and search again with the letters that are left. **How do I make an anagram of my name?** Open the Names & phrases tab and type your name; spaces and capitals don't matter. You get anagrams made of up to three words. If nothing fits, tick 'Rare words too', and if there are too many, tap a result and keep one of its words to narrow the list. **What is an example of an anagram?** Single-word examples are listen and silent, night and thing, heart and earth, and stressed and desserts. Phrase examples are dormitory and dirty room, the eyes and they see, and eleven plus two and twelve plus one. **How can I check if two words are anagrams?** Use the Compare two tab and type both words or phrases. It ignores spaces, capitals and punctuation, says yes or no, and if the answer is no it shows which letters one side has that the other lacks. **Can I use a blank or missing letter?** Yes, in the Solve tab. Type a question mark for each unknown letter and it stands for any letter, so LISTE? finds listen, silent, listed and titles. **How many letters can I enter?** The Solve tab takes up to 15 letters, the length of the longest words in the list.

The **Charades Generator** gives you a random word or phrase to act out, one tap at a time. It holds **2,077 original charades ideas** in 16 categories and three difficulty levels, and it comes with a kids mode, a team game with a timer and a scoreboard, and printable cards. Every idea was written for this page, and none of them is a film, book or song title or a famous name, so a seven-year-old and a grandparent can guess the same card. ## How to use it - **Word generator:** tap **Next word** for something to act out. The card shows the category, the level and the number of words. Tap **Hide** once you have read it, so nobody can peek. - **Team game:** name 2 to 6 teams, pick 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds per turn and the number of rounds, and pass one phone around. The actor taps **Got it** or **Skip**; the game keeps the time and the score for each team and names the winner. - **Print cards:** print the selection as cut-out cards (24 per page) or as a plain list, for a party with no screens. The filters work in all three: choose one or more categories, a level (easy, medium or hard) and switch on **Kids mode** for the 1,335 ideas that suit young children. Nothing repeats in a session until you have seen the whole selection. ## Frequently asked questions **How does the charades generator work?** Tap Next word and the generator shows a random word or phrase to act out, with its category, level and number of words. You can choose categories, pick easy, medium or hard, and switch on Kids mode. Nothing repeats in a session until you have seen the whole selection. **How many charades words and ideas are there?** 2,077, all written for this page: 549 easy, 993 medium and 535 hard. They are sorted into 16 categories: animals, actions, jobs, sports and games, everyday objects, food and cooking, feelings, places, movies and stories, funny situations, grown-up life, idioms and sayings, Christmas and winter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and fall, and easy ideas for kids. **How do you play charades?** Split into teams. One player, the actor, looks at a word in secret and acts it out without speaking while the team guesses. Each correct guess before the time runs out is a point, and after the agreed number of rounds the team with the most points wins. **Is there a charades generator for kids?** Yes. Kids mode keeps only the 1,335 ideas that suit young children: easy and medium ones like hopping like a bunny, brushing your teeth or building a snowman. Hard cards, the grown-up categories and the spooky Halloween cards are left out. **Does it have Christmas charades?** Yes. The Christmas and winter category has 227 ideas, from Santa stuck in the chimney to untangling the lights, and there are 134 for Halloween and 124 for Thanksgiving and fall. Each holiday also has a page of its own with the full list. Tap a category to play only that one, or print it as cards. **Are the charades ideas good for adults?** Yes, and they are all clean. The Grown-up life category has 104 ideas about work, parenting and everyday chores, the Idioms and sayings category has 99, and the hard level adds abstract ideas such as jet lag or a plot twist. **Why are there no movie titles or famous people?** Titles and names only work when everyone knows them. The generator uses things anyone can guess instead, and its Movies and stories category has types and scenes, such as a pirate movie, a superhero landing or a cliffhanger. **Can we play charades in teams on one phone?** Yes. Open Team game, name 2 to 6 teams, and choose 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds per turn and 3, 5 or 8 rounds. The actor taps Got it or Skip, and the game runs the timer, keeps each team's score and shows the winner. **Can I print charades cards?** Yes. Open Print cards, choose your categories and level, and print cut-out cards (24 per page) or a plain list by category. You can print 24, 48 or 96 random cards, or the whole selection. **Is the charades generator free?** Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no app to install. It runs in your browser, and team names and scores are never sent or stored anywhere. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/imposter-game/): Play the Imposter party word game right in your browser — pass one phone around or join on everyone's phone with a game code.

Type the seven letters, mark the centre letter, and it lists all the valid words, with the pangrams first, the points for each word and the maximum score. It works from the letters alone, so it solves any hive: one from an app, a newspaper or a puzzle book, or one you made up yourself. 1. Type the centre letter into the yellow cell, then the six letters around it. The cursor moves on by itself, and pasting seven letters works too. 2. Pick a mode. **Solve** shows every word. **Hints** shows only how many words there are. **Play** lets you find them yourself and keeps score. 3. Tap a word to see what it means. If the wrong letter is in the centre, tap the right one under the hive. ## Rules and points of the hive puzzle A word counts when it has at least four letters, uses only the seven letters of the hive and contains the centre letter. Letters may be used more than once. The points depend on the length: | Word | Points | Example (centre letter K) | | --- | --- | --- | | 4 letters | 1 | KICK = 1 | | 5 letters or more | 1 per letter | CHICK = 5, THICKET = 7 | | Pangram (uses all seven letters) | 1 per letter, plus 7 | KITCHENETTE = 11 + 7 = 18 | ## Frequently asked questions **How does the spelling bee solver work?** Type the seven letters of your hive, with the centre letter in the yellow cell. The solver lists every word of four or more letters that uses only those letters and contains the centre letter, with the pangrams first, the points for each word and the maximum score. **What is a pangram in the spelling bee puzzle?** A pangram is a word that uses all seven letters of the hive at least once. It scores one point per letter plus 7 extra points, so a seven-letter pangram is worth 14. **What is a perfect pangram?** A perfect pangram is exactly seven letters long, so it uses each letter of the hive once. With K in the centre of K, I, T, C, H, E, N, both 'kitchen' and 'thicken' are perfect pangrams. **Can I get spelling bee hints without seeing the answers?** Yes. Hints mode shows only numbers: how many words start with each letter at each length, and how many start with each pair of letters. Words and pangrams stay hidden until you tap to reveal them. **How are the points counted?** A four-letter word is worth 1 point. Longer words are worth 1 point per letter, and a pangram gets 7 extra points. The maximum score is the total for every word in the hive. **Does it show today's answers?** No. We do not publish the daily answers of any puzzle. The solver works from the seven letters you type, so it works for any hive on any day. **Why does the solver show words that my puzzle does not accept?** Every hive puzzle has its own word list. The solver uses the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists and shows unusual words separately as rare words, because many puzzles leave those out. A puzzle may also accept a recent word that the lists do not have yet. **Can I play a spelling bee game here?** Yes. Play mode lets you find words for your own seven letters or a random hive, with a score and ten ranks. Random hives always have at least one pangram, and you can play as many as you like for free. **Is it free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up and runs in your browser. Your letters are never sent anywhere, and play progress is saved only on your own device. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

It searches about 179,000 words and shows the common ones first. It is made for 5-letter word games and crosswords, and it works for any length from 2 to 15 letters. 1. **Pick the word length.** It starts on 5 letters; tap another length, or open the menu for every length and for Any length. 2. **Right spot (green).** There is one box per letter of the word. Type each letter you are sure of into the box for its position. 3. **In the word, wrong spot (yellow).** Type the letters the word contains. If you also know where they are *not*, tick “I know which spots they are not in” and type each letter under that spot. 4. **Not in the word (gray).** Type every letter you have ruled out. 5. The list updates as you type, with common words first and in darker text. Tap a word to see what it means, tick “Common words only” to hide the rare ones, or copy the whole list. ## 5-letter word finder: a worked example Say the hidden word is *plant* and your first guess is *stare*. The game colors the guess like this: . Here is what to type, and what is left: 1. Green: A in box 3. Yellow: T (not in spot 2). Gray: S, R, E. That leaves **25 words, 8 of them common**: adapt, await, chant, giant, loath, plant, thank, twang. 2. Green: A, N and T in boxes 3, 4 and 5. Yellow: T (not in spot 2). Gray: S, R, E, C, H. That leaves **5 words, 2 of them common**: giant, plant. After the first guess the finder suggests *chant* as a good next guess, because it tests the letters most of the remaining words share. That second guess leaves only giant and plant among common words. If you only type the yellow letter and skip its spot, the first step leaves 26 words instead of 25, so the spots are worth entering while the list is still long. **Repeated letters.** When a guess has the same letter twice, a game can color one copy and gray out the other. Guess *speed* when the word is *abide* and you get : one E is yellow, the other gray. Enter E as yellow *and* as gray. The finder reads that as “exactly one E” and keeps *abide* in the list. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I find a 5-letter word with certain letters?** Leave the length on 5, type the letters you know into the boxes for their positions, then add the letters that are in the word but in the wrong spot and the letters that are not in the word. The list of matching words updates as you type, with common words first. **What do green, yellow and gray mean?** In 5-letter word games, green means the letter is in the right spot, yellow means it is in the word but in a different spot, and gray means it is not in the word. The finder has one input for each, so you can copy the colors straight from your game. **How do I enter a letter that appears twice in my guess?** If the game colors one copy of a letter and grays out the other, enter the letter as green or yellow and also as gray. The finder then keeps only words with exactly that many copies of the letter. **Can I use it as a crossword solver?** Yes. Type the pattern with a question mark or an underscore for each empty square, for example c?t or s__r_, and it lists every word that fits. The pattern c?t gives cat, cot and cut. **Can I find words that start with, end with or contain certain letters?** Yes. Use Starts with, Ends with and Contains, alone or together, with a fixed length or with Any length to search all 179,000 words. For example, 144 words start with X and 7 end in J. **Does it work for 6-letter, 7-letter and longer words?** Yes. Pick any length from 2 to 15 letters and the letter boxes change to match. The list has 15,479 six-letter words and 23,537 seven-letter words. **How many 5-letter words are there?** The word list used here has 8,791 five-letter words, and 3,466 of them are common, everyday words. Every word game keeps its own list, so other counts differ. **Which 5-letter words have the most vowels?** No five-letter word in the list is made of vowels only. Twenty-one have four vowels, including audio, eerie, queue, adieu and aioli. **What is the difference between the Word Finder and the Word Unscrambler?** The Word Finder starts from a pattern: the length and the letters you know or have ruled out. The Word Unscrambler starts from a set of letters and finds every word you can make from them. **Is it free and private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the search runs in your browser, so the letters you type are never sent anywhere. ## Data sources Word data: Linguaholic’s English dictionary, built from the open ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (pronunciation and syllables) and Princeton WordNet (meanings).

Paste it wherever you can type. The ones you copied last stay in the **Recent** row. ## What are kaomoji? **Kaomoji** (顔文字) is Japanese for “face characters”: *kao* means face and *moji* means character. A kaomoji is a little face or figure built from ordinary text characters, and it has been part of Japanese online writing since the 1980s. Because a kaomoji is plain text, it works in places where pictures don’t: usernames, file names, plain-text email and old chat programs. | Kind | How it works | | --- | --- | | Emoticon :-) ;-) :-( | A sideways face typed with keyboard characters. You tilt your head to read it, and the mouth shows the feeling. | | Kaomoji (^_^) (T_T) (>_<) | An upright face, read without tilting your head. The eyes show the feeling, and characters from many writing systems add arms, cheeks, animals and props. | | Emoji 😀 😭 🤷 | A single character that is shown as a small picture. Each phone and computer draws it in its own style. The word is Japanese too: *e* (picture) + *moji* (character). | ## Frequently asked questions **What is a kaomoji?** A kaomoji is a Japanese-style emoticon: a face or small figure built from text characters, such as (^_^) or (T_T). The word means “face characters”. Unlike :-), a kaomoji is upright, so you read it without tilting your head. **How do I copy and paste a kaomoji?** Tap the kaomoji and it is copied to your clipboard. Then paste it where you want it: press and hold and choose Paste on a phone, or press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) on a computer. **How do you type the shrug emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?** The quickest way is to copy it. To type it without copying, save it once as a text replacement on your phone or Mac, with a shortcut such as “shrug”. On Windows, press the Windows key and the period key and open the kaomoji tab. In Discord, type /shrug. **Why does the shrug lose an arm on Discord and Reddit?** Those apps use Markdown, which reads the backslash and the underscores as formatting. Put a backslash in front of each of them, like this: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯. The “Copy for Discord and Reddit” option does that for every kaomoji you copy. **What is the difference between kaomoji, emoticons and emoji?** An emoticon such as :-) is a sideways face typed with keyboard characters. A kaomoji such as (^_^) is an upright face that also uses characters from other writing systems. An emoji such as 😀 is a single character that your device shows as a small picture. **Why do some kaomoji show up as boxes or question marks?** Kaomoji borrow characters from many writing systems. If none of the fonts on a device contains one of them, it is shown as an empty box or a question mark. Simple kaomoji made of keyboard characters, such as (^_^) or (T_T), work everywhere. **What are emoji combos?** Emoji combos are short rows of emoji that go together, such as 🧸🎀🍓 or 🌙✨🪐. People use them in bios, captions, usernames and playlist titles to set a mood. This page has them by theme: cute, aesthetic, colors, seasons, holidays and more. **What is the Lenny face?** The Lenny face, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), is a kaomoji with raised eyebrows and a sly grin, used for mischief or a knowing joke. The collection has 21 variations of it. **What does the table flip (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ mean?** It shows someone throwing a table over in frustration, and it is nearly always meant as a joke. The usual reply is ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ), which puts the table back. **Are kaomoji free to use?** Yes.

The look of “A Guide to the Birds of the Coast” is familiar to every reader, but the details are not obvious. Is “with” capitalized? What about “is”, “to” or “between”? The answer depends on which style guide you follow, and the four main guides in the United States disagree on purpose. This tool capitalizes a title according to **APA**, **MLA**, **Chicago** or **AP** style, or puts it in sentence case. It then explains every word, so you can see the rule behind each capital and each lowercase letter, and it shows the same title in all styles side by side. ## How to use the title capitalization tool 1. Type or paste your title. To convert a list, put one title on each line (up to 200 lines). 2. Choose a style: **APA**, **MLA**, **Chicago**, **AP** or **Sentence case**. The result updates at once, and the line under the buttons says what each style is used for. 3. Read the status line. It tells you whether your title was already correct in that style or how many words changed. 4. Look at **Why each word is written this way** to see the reason for every word, and at **The same title in every style** to see where the guides differ. Words that differ are highlighted. 5. Tap **Copy**. With several titles, **Copy all** copies the whole list. Under **Options** you can: - keep words typed with unusual capitals, such as iPhone, eBay or NASA (on by default), so brand names and abbreviations are not flattened; - treat the part after a colon or dash as a subtitle, whose first word is always capitalized (on by default); - list names and words that must always stay exactly as you write them, for example a surname such as von Trapp; - in Chicago style, follow the 17th edition instead of the 18th. ## Frequently asked questions **Which words are capitalized in a title?** The first word, and every noun, pronoun, verb, adjective and adverb, however short. Articles (a, an, the), short coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or) and short prepositions (in, of, on, at, to) stay lowercase. Style guides differ on longer prepositions such as with, from and between. **Is "is" capitalized in a title?** Yes, in every style guide. Is is a verb, and verbs are always capitalized in a title, like Be, Are, Was and Do. **Is "with" capitalized in a title?** In APA and AP style yes, because they capitalize words of four letters or more. In MLA no, because all prepositions are lowercase. In Chicago no, because only prepositions of five letters or more are capitalized (since the 18th edition). **Is "to" capitalized in a title?** As a preposition it is lowercase in every guide. In an infinitive, such as How to Train a Puppy, it is lowercase in APA, MLA and Chicago, while AP capitalizes it. **What is the difference between title case and sentence case?** Title case capitalizes all the main words of a title. Sentence case capitalizes only the first word, the first word after a colon and proper nouns, like an ordinary sentence. **How do APA, MLA, Chicago and AP title case differ?** Mostly in how they treat prepositions. APA and AP capitalize words of four letters or more, MLA keeps every preposition lowercase, and Chicago capitalizes prepositions of five letters or more. AP also capitalizes the to of an infinitive, and APA does not require a capital on the last word. **Is the word after a colon capitalized in a title?** Yes. The first word of a subtitle is capitalized in all four guides, even if it is a, an or the. **How are hyphenated words capitalized in a title?** Capitalize the first part always. Capitalize the second part if it is a main word (Self-Publishing) and keep it lowercase if it is an article, short preposition or conjunction (Step-by-Step). **Can I capitalize many titles at once?** Yes. Put one title on each line, up to 200 lines, and copy the whole converted list with Copy all. **Are my titles uploaded?** No. The tool runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to a server or stored. ## Related tools - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it. - [Punctuation Checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/): Paste your text to see comma, apostrophe, semicolon, quotation mark and spacing mistakes underlined, each with the rule and a one-click fix. - [Run-On Sentence Checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/): Paste your text to find comma splices and fused sentences.

Every finding shows the join and the reason, with one-click fixes, undo and a copy button. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/ - Type: free online tool (Writing tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 4, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/?text=I+was+tired,+I+went+to+bed.+It+was+late+we+went+home. - `text`: the text to check (up to 2,000 characters from a link) (for example `I was tired, I went to bed.`) - `limit`: word limit for the long-sentence style note: 30, 40 (default) or 50 (for example `30`) ## How to use the run-on sentence checker Paste or type your text in the box (up to 20,000 characters). The **run-on sentence checker** splits it into sentences and gives each one a verdict as you type. Nothing is uploaded: the checking happens in your browser, so essays, emails and private drafts stay on your device. 1. **Read the summary.** The four boxes show the number of sentences, how many run-ons were found, your longest sentence and your average sentence length in words. 2. **Go through the sentences.** Each sentence is marked *Comma splice*, *Possible comma splice*, *Possible fused sentence*, *Style note* or *OK*. In a flagged sentence, the words around the join are highlighted, and a note explains why it was flagged: which words form the first clause, and which subject and verb start the second. 3. **Pick a fix.** The buttons under a finding rewrite that sentence in place: split it into two sentences, use a semicolon, add a comma with *and*, *but* or *so*, or use a semicolon with *however* or *therefore*. Choose the one that matches your meaning. *Undo* takes back the last change. 4. **Copy the corrected text.** *Copy text* puts the whole text, with your fixes, on your clipboard. One setting changes what counts as a long sentence: 30, 40, 50 words (40 is the default). Tap **Try a sample** to see a short text with correct sentences and one of each kind of problem. In the sample, the checker finds 3 run-ons in 8 sentences and adds 2 style notes. Please read the results with one thing in mind: this is a rule-based tool, not an AI. It checks word patterns, such as a comma followed by a subject and a verb. It does not understand meaning. It is built to stay quiet when it is unsure, so it will miss some run-ons, and it can be wrong about an unusual sentence. That is why every finding shows its reason, and why the less certain ones are labeled “possible”. Every line break ends a sentence, so if your text was copied from a PDF and has line breaks in the middle of sentences, join the lines first with [remove line breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/). ## What is a run-on sentence? A **run-on sentence** is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses are joined without the right punctuation or linking word. An independent clause has a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a sentence: *It was late* is one, and *we went home* is another. Put them together with nothing in between, or with only a comma, and you have a run-on. Run-ons make readers work harder. Without a clear break, the reader has to figure out where one thought stops and the next one starts, and may have to read the sentence twice. ### How long is a run-on sentence? Any length. This surprises many people, because “run-on” sounds like “a sentence that runs on and on”. But a run-on is a joining mistake, not a length. *It was late we went home.* has only 6 words and is a run-on. A sentence of 41 words can be perfectly correct if its clauses are joined properly. So there is no number of words that makes a sentence a run-on, and counting words will not tell you whether you have one. ## Frequently asked questions **What is a run-on sentence?** A run-on sentence joins two or more independent clauses without the right punctuation or linking word. For example, It was late we went home is a run-on, because It was late and we went home can each stand alone as a sentence. **How does the run-on sentence checker work?** It splits your text into sentences and looks for word patterns: a comma followed by a new subject and verb, a comma before a word like however or then, or two clauses with nothing between them. It is rule-based and runs in your browser. It does not understand meaning, so it can miss a run-on or be wrong about an unusual sentence, and every finding shows why it was flagged. **How do you fix a run-on sentence?** There are four standard ways: split it into two sentences with a period, join the clauses with a semicolon, add a comma and a coordinating conjunction such as and, but or so, or turn one clause into a dependent clause with a word like because or although. The tool applies the first three for you with one click. **What is a comma splice, and is it a run-on sentence?** A comma splice joins two independent clauses with only a comma, as in I was tired, I went to bed. Many handbooks count it as one of the two kinds of run-on sentence; some teachers treat it as a separate error. The fixes are the same. **What is a fused sentence?** A fused sentence joins two independent clauses with no punctuation and no linking word, as in I was tired I went to bed. Fused sentences are hard for software to detect, so the tool labels them as possible fused sentences. **How long is a run-on sentence?** Any length. A run-on is a joining mistake, not a long sentence: He ran she walked is a run-on with four words, while a correctly joined sentence of 50 words is not. The tool marks long sentences only as a style note. **What is the difference between a run-on sentence and a sentence fragment?** A run-on has too much: two or more complete clauses joined wrongly. A fragment has too little: it is punctuated like a sentence but lacks a subject, a verb or a complete thought, as in Because it was late. This tool checks for run-ons, not fragments. **Why can't "however" join two sentences with a comma?** However is a conjunctive adverb, not a conjunction. Between two independent clauses it needs a semicolon or a period before it and a comma after it: I wanted to go; however, I was too tired. The same is true of therefore, moreover, nevertheless and consequently. **Is a comma splice ever acceptable?** In formal writing, no. In fiction, dialogue and informal writing, editors often accept a comma between short, matching clauses, as in We ran, we laughed, we fell asleep. The tool marks these as possible comma splices and adds a note. **Is the run-on sentence checker free, and is my text private?** Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it checks up to 20,000 characters at a time. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored. ## Related tools - [Punctuation Checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/): Paste your text to see comma, apostrophe, semicolon, quotation mark and spacing mistakes underlined, each with the rule and a one-click fix. - [Sentence Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/): Count sentences, words and paragraphs, see your average sentence length, and find your longest, shortest and too-long sentences. - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Title Capitalization Tool](https://linguaholic.com/tools/title-capitalization-tool/): Capitalize a title in APA, MLA, Chicago or AP style or in sentence case, see the reason for every word, and compare all styles side by side. - [Remove Line Breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/): Remove line breaks from pasted text, keep paragraphs, fix PDF and email copy-paste, replace breaks with commas, or add line breaks, then copy or download. - [Random Word Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/random-word-generator/): Generate random English words from a 58,000-word dictionary — with definitions, difficulty levels, topics, letter and syllable filters, and ready-made modes for Pictionary, charades, writing prompts, songs, and vocabulary. --- # Punctuation Checker > Paste your text to see comma, apostrophe, semicolon, quotation mark and spacing mistakes underlined, each with the rule and a one-click fix. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/ - Type: free online tool (Writing tools), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 4, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/?text=However%20the%20store%20was%20closed.%20Its%20a%20long%20way%20home%2C%20e.g.%20six%20miles.&focus=all - `text`: text to check (up to 20,000 characters) (for example `However the store was closed. Its a long way home, e.g. six miles.`) - `focus`: check one kind of mark only: commas (comma checker), apostrophes (apostrophe checker), semicolons (semicolons and colons), quotes (quotation marks and brackets), dashes, spacing or sentences (end of sentence); default all (for example `commas`) - `style`: punctuation style: american (default; commas and periods inside closing quotation marks, comma after e.g.) or british (for example `british`) - `oxford`: Oxford comma: ignore (default), require or avoid (for example `require`) - `dash`: the dash to suggest: em (em dash without spaces, default) or en (en dash with spaces) (for example `en`) - `suggestions`: 0 hides suggestions and shows errors only (default: shown) (for example `0`) ## How to use the punctuation checker Paste or type your text into the box. The **punctuation checker** reads it as you type and shows the same text underneath with every finding underlined. Tap an underlined part to see what is wrong, the rule behind it, and the corrected version. You can check a single sentence or a whole essay of up to 20,000 characters, and nothing you type leaves your browser. 1. **Add your text.** Not sure what to expect? Tap *Try a sample* to load a short note with a mistake of almost every kind. 2. **Read the underlines.** A solid red underline is an **error**: a clear mistake with a safe fix. A dashed yellow underline is a **suggestion**: something that is often wrong but depends on what you mean, so the decision is yours. 3. **Fix one at a time, or all at once.** *Apply* corrects the finding you have open. *Fix all errors* corrects every error in one go and never touches a suggestion. *Undo* takes back the last fix, and *Ignore* hides a finding you disagree with. 4. **Copy the result.** *Copy text* puts the corrected text on your clipboard. The buttons and settings above the result change what is checked: - **Check.** *All rules* is the default. Each of the other buttons narrows the check to one kind of mark and shows how many findings it has, so you can work through commas first, then apostrophes, and so on. - **Style.** *American* puts commas and periods inside closing quotation marks and expects a comma after *e.g.* and *i.e.* *British* does neither. See [American and British punctuation](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/#american-british) below. - **Oxford comma.** Off by default, because both ways are correct. Choose *Require it* or *Avoid it* and the checker holds every list to your choice. - **Dashes.** Pick the dash the checker should suggest: an em dash without spaces or an en dash with spaces. - **Show suggestions.** Untick it to see errors only. ## What the punctuation checker checks The checker applies 40 rules, listed below with a sentence that breaks each one and the same sentence after the fix. It is a rule-based tool, not an AI: it does not understand what your text means, it only recognizes patterns it can be sure about. That is why it separates errors from suggestions, and why a result with no findings is a good sign but not proof that a text is perfect. | Rule | What it catches | Example | After the fix | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Commas (17 rules) | | | | | **Comma after an introductory word or phrase** Error or suggestion | A sentence that opens with a word or phrase such as However, Unfortunately, For example, In fact or Yes, with no comma after it. | However the store was already closed. | However, the store was already closed. | | **Comma after an opening clause** Suggestion | A sentence that opens with Because, When, If, Although, Since or a similar word and has no comma anywhere. | When I arrived he left. | When I arrived, he left. | | **Commas around an interrupter** Error or suggestion | However, for example or for instance in the middle of a sentence with a comma on one side only, or with none. | The plan, however was never finished. | The plan, however, was never finished. | | **Comma splice** Error or suggestion | Two complete sentences joined by a comma alone, including the common “, however,” splice. | I wanted to go, however, I was too tired. | I wanted to go; however, I was too tired. | | **Comma before and, but, so or yet** Suggestion | Two complete sentences joined by and, but, so or yet with no comma before the joining word. | The rain stopped at noon and we walked to the lake. | The rain stopped at noon, and we walked to the lake. | | **Comma before that** Error or suggestion | A comma in front of that when that introduces what was said, thought or meant. | She said, that the train was late. | She said that the train was late. | | **Comma before which** Suggestion | Which adding information about a noun, with no comma before it (American style only). | We took the old road which is closed in winter. | We took the old road, which is closed in winter. | | **Comma that does not belong** Error or suggestion | A comma after such as, after although, because or unless, after “said that”, or after And or But at the start of a sentence. | Bring warm clothes such as, a hat and gloves. | Bring warm clothes such as a hat and gloves. | | **Comma after e.g. and i.e.** Error | e.g. or i.e. with no comma after it (American style only). | Bring a snack, e.g. an apple or some nuts. | Bring a snack, e.g., an apple or some nuts. | | **Punctuation with etc.** Error | A list that runs into etc. without a comma, “and etc.”, and etc without its period (American style). | We sell pens, paper, ink etc. at the front desk. | We sell pens, paper, ink, etc. at the front desk. | | **Commas in dates** Error | A month-day-year date with no comma before the year or after it, and a weekday run into the month. | The shop opened on March 3 2021 and closed a year later. | The shop opened on March 3, 2021, and closed a year later. | | **Comma after a city and state** Error | A city and state in the middle of a sentence with no comma after the state. | She moved from Austin, Texas to a small town in Ohio. | She moved from Austin, Texas, to a small town in Ohio. | | **Comma when you address someone** Error or suggestion | Thanks, Thank you, Sorry, Congratulations or Happy birthday followed by a name with no comma. | Thanks Sam!

To use the tool as a **comma checker**, tap *Commas only*, or open it that way with [this link](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/?focus=commas). Here are the main rules, each with a sentence the checker corrected and a guide that explains the rule in depth. ### After an introductory word or phrase A word or phrase that opens a sentence and comments on the rest of it takes a comma. Before: *However the store was already closed.* After: *However, the store was already closed.* The checker knows a fixed list of such openers, including *however*, *furthermore*, *unfortunately*, *for example*, *in fact*, *on the other hand*, *yes*, *no* and *well*. It also knows when these words are not openers, so “However hard he tried, the jar stayed shut” and “No one knew” are left alone. After words where the comma is a matter of style, such as *therefore* or *of course*, it only makes a suggestion. Guides: [comma before or after however](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-or-after-however/), [comma after for example](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-after-for-example/), [comma after therefore](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-after-therefore/). ### Around a word that interrupts the sentence When *however* or *for example* sits in the middle of a sentence, it needs a comma on both sides. One comma is the usual slip. Guide: [comma before for example](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-for-example/). Before: *The plan, however was never finished.* After: *The plan, however, was never finished.* ### Comma splices A comma splice is two complete sentences joined by a comma alone. The clearest case uses *however*, and the checker marks it as an error. Before: *I wanted to go, however, I was too tired.* After: *I wanted to go; however, I was too tired.* Without such a signal word the checker cannot be certain that both halves are full sentences, so it only suggests a fix. A semicolon is one repair. A period, or a comma with *and*, *but* or *so*, works just as well. Before: *The store was closed, we went home.* After: *The store was closed; we went home.* For a closer look at sentences that run together, use the [run-on sentence checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/), and read our guide to [common comma mistakes](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/common-comma-mistakes/). ### Punctuation in compound and complex sentences A **compound sentence** joins two complete sentences with *and*, *but*, *or*, *so* or *yet*, and a comma goes before the joining word. The checker flags a missing one as a suggestion, because two very short sentences can go without it. Before: *The rain stopped at noon and we walked to the lake.* After: *The rain stopped at noon, and we walked to the lake.* A **complex sentence** has a main clause and a dependent clause that starts with a word like *because*, *when*, *if* or *although*. If the dependent clause comes first, a comma follows it: “When the bell rang, the students left.” If it comes last, there is usually no comma: “The students left when the bell rang.” A compound-complex sentence uses both rules at once. The checker handles the compound part and the comma splices. It suggests the comma after an opening clause when it can find where the clause ends, and leaves the harder cases to you.

Before: *She said, that the train was late.* After: *She said that the train was late.* *Which* is the opposite. In American English it usually adds extra information and takes a comma. If the information is essential, most American editors use *that* with no comma. Guides: [comma before that](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-that/), [comma before which](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-which/). Before: *We took the old road which is closed in winter.* After: *We took the old road, which is closed in winter.* ### e.g., i.e., etc. and such as In American style a comma follows *e.g.* and *i.e.* At the end of a list, *etc.* follows a comma and never needs *and*. And no comma follows *such as*. Guides: [comma after e.g.](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-after-e-g/), [comma before etc.](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-etc/), [comma before such as](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-such-as/). Before: *Bring a snack, e.g. an apple or some nuts.* After: *Bring a snack, e.g., an apple or some nuts.* Before: *We sell pens, paper, and etc.* After: *We sell pens, paper, etc.* Before: *Bring warm clothes such as, a hat and gloves.* After: *Bring warm clothes such as a hat and gloves.* ### Dates, places and names In a month-day-year date, the year is set off by commas. The same goes for a state after a city. And a name you speak to directly gets a comma. Guides: [comma after a city and a state](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-after-a-city-and-a-state/), [comma before a name you address](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-a-vocative/), [comma after best regards](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-after-best-regards/). Before: *The shop opened on March 3 2021 and closed a year later.* After: *The shop opened on March 3, 2021, and closed a year later.* Before: *She moved from Austin, Texas to a small town in Ohio.* After: *She moved from Austin, Texas, to a small town in Ohio.* Before: *Thanks Sam!* After: *Thanks, Sam!* ### The Oxford comma The Oxford comma, or serial comma, is the comma before *and* or *or* in a list of three or more. The Chicago Manual of Style, APA and MLA use it. AP style leaves it out of simple lists. Neither is wrong, so the checker ignores it until you choose. A comma before *and* that joins two full sentences is not an Oxford comma, and the checker keeps it either way. Guide: [comma before and in a list](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-and-in-a-list/). With *Require it*: Before: *We ordered soup, salad and bread.* After: *We ordered soup, salad, and bread.* With *Avoid it*: Before: *We ordered soup, salad, and bread.* After: *We ordered soup, salad and bread.* ### Comma rules chart: the 8 rules you need most Eight rules cover almost every comma you will ever write, and three more tell you which commas to delete. The chart shows each rule as a pattern with one example. Save it, print it or pin it for later. 1. **After an opening word or phrase.** *After the movie, we got pizza.* The same goes for *however*, *yes*, *well* and clauses that start with *if* or *when*. 2. **Before and, but, or, so when a full sentence follows.** *I called, but nobody answered.* 3. **Between the items in a list.** *We need eggs, milk, and bread.* The last comma is the Oxford comma. 4. **Around extra information.** *Sam, my neighbor, bakes bread.* Take the extra part out and the sentence still works. 5. **Between two describing words.** *It was a long, cold winter.* The test: you could say “long and cold.” 6. **When you speak to someone.** *Let’s eat, Grandma!* 7. **In dates and places.** *On May 2, 2020, we moved to Austin, Texas, for good.* A comma follows the year and the state as well. 8. **Before a quotation.** *She smiled and said, “Come in.”* And the three commas to delete: the comma that joins two full sentences on its own (*It was late, we left*), the comma between a subject and its verb (*The old dog, barked all night*), and the comma before *that* (*He said, that he was tired*). ## Apostrophe checker An apostrophe does two jobs in English: it marks the missing letters in a contraction (*don’t*, *it’s*) and it shows possession (*the dog’s bowl*). It does not make a plural. Tap *Apostrophes only*, or use [this link](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/?focus=apostrophes), to run the tool as an **apostrophe checker**. It looks for four things. - **Contractions typed without the apostrophe.** Only spellings that are never a word on their own are flagged. *Were*, *well*, *shell*, *ill* and *wed* are real words, so the checker does not guess that you meant *we’re* or *we’ll*. Before: *I dont think theyre ready.* After: *I don't think they're ready.* - **its and it’s, in clear cases.** *It’s* means *it is* or *it has*; *its* shows that something belongs to it. A quick test: if you can say *it is* in its place, write *it’s*. Before: *Its a long way to the coast.* After: *It's a long way to the coast.* Before: *The dog chased it's own tail.* After: *The dog chased its own tail.* - **A plural with an apostrophe after a number word.** Before: *We adopted two cat's.* After: *We adopted two cats.* - **Decades.** This one is a suggestion, since a few publications still print the apostrophe. Before: *The house was built in the 1990's.* After: *The house was built in the 1990s.* | Typed | Corrected | | --- | --- | | dont | don't | | didnt | didn't | | isnt | isn't | | wouldnt | wouldn't | | cant | can't | | youre | you're | | theyre | they're | | thats | that's | | theres | there's | | couldve | could've | | childrens | children's | What it cannot do is find a possessive that has no apostrophe at all, as in *the dogs bowl*. A sign that reads *apple’s for sale* is also beyond it, because *the apple’s color* is perfectly correct. For those, ask whether something belongs to the word. If nothing does, it is a plain plural and needs no apostrophe. ## Semicolon checker (and colons) A semicolon has three standard uses. It joins two complete sentences that belong together: “The rain stopped; the sun came out.” It comes before *however*, *therefore* and similar words when they link two sentences. And it separates the items of a list when the items contain commas of their own: “Paris, France; Lima, Peru; and Austin, Texas.” Choose *Semicolons & colons*, or open [this link](https://linguaholic.com/tools/punctuation-checker/?focus=semicolons), to use the tool as a **semicolon checker**. - **Capital letter after a semicolon.** A semicolon does not end the sentence, so the next word stays lowercase unless it is a name. Before: *The rain stopped; The sun came out.* After: *The rain stopped; the sun came out.* - **Semicolon before and or but.** A comma is the normal mark there, so the checker suggests one. In a long sentence that already has commas, the semicolon is fine, and the checker says nothing. Before: *We waited for an hour; but nobody came.* After: *We waited for an hour, but nobody came.* A colon introduces a list, an explanation or a quotation, and what comes before it should be a complete sentence. That is why a colon straight after a verb or a preposition is flagged as a suggestion. A colon at the end of a line that leads into a list set out below it is left alone. Guides: [how to use semicolons](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/semicolons/) and [how to use colons](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/colons/). Before: *The colors are: red, green and blue.* After: *The colors are red, green and blue.* ## Quotation marks and brackets The checker first makes sure every quotation mark and every bracket has a partner. An opening mark that is never closed is underlined, but not fixed for you: only you know where the quotation ends. It then looks at the marks around the quotation. Guide: [commas with quotation marks](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/commas-with-quotes-rules/). - **A comma between the quotation and the speaker.** After a quoted question, the question mark replaces the comma. Before: *She said "We are leaving now."* After: *She said, "We are leaving now."* Before: *"Are you coming?", he asked.* After: *"Are you coming?" he asked.* - **Commas and periods inside the closing mark** (American style). Before: *She called it "a small win", and we agreed.* After: *She called it "a small win," and we agreed.* - **One kind of mark.** Text pasted together from several places often mixes straight marks (") with curly ones (“ ”). The checker offers to make them all match. - **A comma before an opening bracket.** The comma belongs after the closing bracket. Before: *After the show, (which ran long) we walked home.* After: *After the show (which ran long), we walked home.* ## American and British punctuation American and British English share almost all of their punctuation. The few differences are matters of convention, not of right and wrong, and the *Style* setting covers the ones a rule can check. The table shows the same typed text under both settings. | Point | As typed | American setting | British setting | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Period with a closing quotation mark | He called the plan "bold". | He called the plan "bold." | No change | | Comma with a closing quotation mark | She called it "a small win", and we agreed. | She called it "a small win," and we agreed. | No change | | A quoted phrase typed the American way | He called the plan 'bold.' | No change | He called the plan 'bold'. | | Comma after e.g. and i.e. | Bring a snack, e.g. an apple or some nuts. | Bring a snack, e.g., an apple or some nuts. | No change | | Period in etc. | We need plates, cups, etc for the party. | We need plates, cups, etc. for the party. | No change | | which without a comma | We took the old road which is closed in winter. | We took the old road, which is closed in winter. | No change | The best-known difference is the first one. American style places a comma or period inside the closing quotation mark whether or not it belongs to the quoted words. British style places it by sense: inside if it is part of the quotation, outside if it is not. In both, a question mark goes inside only when the quoted words are the question, and colons and semicolons go outside. Some differences are not checked, because either form may be exactly what you intend: - American writing uses double quotation marks first and single marks for a quotation inside a quotation. Many British publishers do it the other way round. - American English writes *Mr.*, *Mrs.* and *Dr.* with a period. British English usually writes *Mr*, *Mrs* and *Dr* without one. - An American date is written month first, with commas: *March 3, 2021*. A British date is written day first, with none: *3 March 2021*. - In British English, *which* often introduces essential information with no comma, where American editors prefer *that*. See [comma before which in British English](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-which-british-uk/). ## Hyphens and dashes A hyphen (-) joins words or parts of words: *well-known*, *mother-in-law*. A dash separates parts of a sentence, a little more strongly than a comma. The hyphen is the easy key to reach, so dashes are often typed as hyphens. The checker corrects two habits: two hyphens in a row, and a single hyphen with a space on each side. Before: *The view--all hills and sky--was worth the climb.* After: *The view—all hills and sky—was worth the climb.* With the en dash setting: Before: *The view - all hills and sky - was worth the climb.* After: *The view – all hills and sky – was worth the climb.* The em dash without spaces is the form in the Chicago Manual of Style, APA and MLA. AP style puts a space on each side of the dash. The en dash with spaces is common in British publishing. Hyphens inside compound words, number ranges and command-line options such as `--help` are left alone. ## Spacing and the end of the sentence The simplest rules catch the most common typing slips. No space goes before a comma, period or question mark, and one space goes after it. A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a closing mark. One mark is enough, an ellipsis has three dots, and a single space follows a period, which is what AP, APA, Chicago and MLA all ask for. Before: *We left early , but the road was busy .* After: *We left early, but the road was busy.* Before: *The store was closed. we went home* After: *The store was closed. We went home.* A sentence such as “Dr. Lee arrived at 5:30 p.m. and paid $3.50.” passes untouched: the checker knows that the periods in Dr. and p.m., the colon in 5:30 and the point in $3.50 are not sentence punctuation. ## What a rule-based checker can and cannot do This tool does not use a language model, and it does not send your text anywhere. It runs a fixed list of rules in your browser. That makes it fast, private and predictable: the same text always gives the same result, and every finding names the rule that produced it. It also sets clear limits. - **It will miss mistakes.** A comma missing after a long opening clause, a possessive without its apostrophe, or a question that ends in a period all depend on meaning. A rule cannot see meaning. - **Suggestions need your judgment.** They are worded as “Possible …” because the checker has found a pattern that is often wrong, not one that is always wrong. - **It checks punctuation, not grammar or spelling.** A sentence can be perfectly punctuated and still say the wrong thing. ## Tips for cleaner punctuation - **Do not place commas by ear.** “Put a comma where you would pause” produces comma splices and stray commas between a subject and its verb. Ask what the comma is doing: separating list items, setting off an opener or an aside, or joining two sentences with *and* or *but*. Our [comma cheat sheet](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-cheat-sheet/) lists the jobs on one page. - **Choose one style and keep it.** American or British quotation style, Oxford comma or not, em dash or en dash: readers notice a switch more than they notice the choice. - **Clean pasted text first.** Text copied from a PDF often has a line break in the middle of every sentence. Join the lines with [remove line breaks](https://linguaholic.com/tools/remove-line-breaks/) before you check it. - **Check headings and sentence length too.** Headings take no period and follow their own capital rules, which the [title capitalization tool](https://linguaholic.com/tools/title-capitalization-tool/) applies. Heavy punctuation is often a sign of sentences that try to do too much: the [sentence counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/sentence-counter/) shows your longest ones, and the [word counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/) gives you the totals. ## All our comma guides Most comma questions are about one particular word. Linguaholic has a guide for each of the words below, with the rule, the exceptions and example sentences. When the checker flags one of these words, the finding links to its guide. ### Comma before a word - [Comma before according to](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-according-to/) - [Comma before after all](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/comma-before-after-all/) -

The checker underlines each finding in your text as you type; tap one to see what is wrong, the rule behind it and the corrected version, then tap Apply. Fix all errors corrects every clear mistake at once. **Is the punctuation checker free?** Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and has no daily limit. You can check up to 20,000 characters at a time, which is about 3,000 words. **Does the punctuation checker use AI?** No. It applies a fixed list of punctuation rules in your browser, so the same text always gives the same result and every finding names its rule. It does not understand meaning, which is why it will miss some mistakes and marks uncertain cases as suggestions. **Can it tell me whether a sentence needs a comma?** In many common cases, yes: after an opening word such as However or For example, around an interrupter, before and or but joining two sentences, in dates, after a city and state, and before a name you address. Choose Commas only to use it as a comma checker. **Does it find comma splices?** Yes. A splice with however, as in “I wanted to go, however, I was tired,” is marked as an error and fixed with a semicolon. Other likely splices, where two full sentences are joined by a comma alone, are marked as suggestions for you to judge. **Does it check the Oxford comma?** Only if you ask it to, because both styles are correct. Set Oxford comma to Require it or Avoid it, and the checker flags every list of three or more that does not match your choice. **Does it check apostrophes, including its and it's?** Yes. It finds contractions typed without an apostrophe, such as dont and youre, clear mix-ups of its and it's, plurals written with an apostrophe after a number word, and decades such as 1990's. Choose Apostrophes only to see just these. **Does it check semicolons and colons?** Yes. It flags a capital letter after a semicolon, suggests a comma where a semicolon stands before and or but, and suggests removing a colon placed right after a verb or preposition, as in “The colors are: red and blue.” **Does it follow American or British punctuation?** American by default: commas and periods go inside closing quotation marks and a comma follows e.g. and i.e. Switch Style to British to place them by sense instead and to turn off the American-only rules. **Is my text private?** Yes. The punctuation checker runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, stored or used for anything else. ## Related tools - [Run-On Sentence Checker](https://linguaholic.com/tools/run-on-sentence-checker/): Paste your text to find comma splices and fused sentences.

The game checks every rhyme against a 100,000-word pronouncing dictionary. No sign-up, no app. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/rhyme-game/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 19, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/rhyme-game/?word=light&time=60 - `mode`: rush (type rhymes against the clock, the default), freestyle (a beat with a new word every few bars) or battle (pass the phone, 2 to 8 players) (for example `freestyle`) - `level`: prompt words: easy, medium or hard (for example `easy`) - `word`: Rhyme Rush: the word to rhyme with (a common word that has rhymes; anything else is replaced by a game word) (for example `light`) - `time`: Rhyme Rush: 30, 60 or 90 seconds (for example `60`) - `beat`: Rhyme Rush: a score to beat, shown as a friend's challenge (with word and time) (for example `12`) - `bpm`: Freestyle: tempo 80, 90 or 100 (for example `90`) - `bars`: Freestyle: a new word every 2 or 4 bars (for example `4`) ## What is the Rhyme Game? The **Rhyme Game** is the oldest word game there is: someone says a word, and you come back with a word that rhymes. This version gives you 444 words to rhyme with, in three levels, and **checks every rhyme for you** against a pronouncing dictionary of about 100,000 words, so there is no arguing about whether *orange* and *door hinge* count. You can play it three ways: alone against the clock, out loud over a beat like a freestyle rapper, or with friends on one phone. **There is no sign-up, no account and no app to install:** open the page and play, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. ## How to play ### Rhyme Rush: type rhymes against the clock 1. Pick the level and the time: 30, 60 or 90 seconds. 2. Press **Start**. A word appears, for example **LIGHT**. 3. Type a rhyme and press Enter. Right answers lock in with their points; wrong ones get a short note. 4. When the time is up you see your score, your best score, and the common rhymes you missed. 5. Tap **Challenge a friend** to send your word, time and score. Your friend gets the same word and has to beat you. ### Freestyle: rap over a beat This is the rhyme game people play on video: a beat runs, a word pops up, and you rap a line that ends on a rhyme before the next word drops. Choose a tempo (slow 80, medium 90, fast 100 beats per minute), how often a new word comes (2 or 4 bars), and whether to show a few rhymes as a hint. The beat is a drum loop made in your browser; nothing is recorded, so the game cannot judge you here. Your friends can. ### Battle: pass the phone 1. Add 2 to 8 players and choose the lives (1, 3 or 5) and the seconds per turn (10, 15 or 20). 2. Everyone rhymes on the same word, one after the other. A rhyme that was already used does not count. 3. Whoever runs out of time loses a life. A fresh word comes up and the next player starts. 4. The last player with a life left wins. Choose **The game (type them)** and the game checks every answer, or **The group (say them)** to play out loud: the others tap “Rhymed” or “Missed”. Saying them is faster and works for children who cannot type yet. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play the rhyme game?** You get a word and come up with words that rhyme with it. In Rhyme Rush you type as many rhymes as you can before the clock runs out. In Freestyle a beat plays and a new word appears every few bars, and you rap a line that ends on a rhyme. In Battle the players take turns on one phone, and whoever runs out of time loses a life. **How does the game know if a word rhymes?** It looks up how both words are pronounced in the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, the same data as our Rhyming Words tool, and compares the sounds from the last stressed vowel to the end. Light and kite rhyme perfectly; light and ride are near rhymes, which also count. **How are points scored?** A perfect rhyme scores one point per syllable, so night is worth 1 and satellite 3. A near rhyme scores 1 point. The word itself, the word with an ending or a prefix added (lights, unhappy), compounds made with it (daylight), single letters other than a and I, names and words already used do not count. Real rhymes that just happen to end in the same letters, like bring for ring or flight for light, count. **Can I play the rhyme game with friends?** Yes. Battle mode is for 2 to 8 players on one phone, typed or said out loud with the group as judge. In Rhyme Rush you can send a friend a challenge link with your word, your time and your score. **Is there a beat for freestyle?** Yes. Freestyle mode plays a drum loop made in your browser at 80, 90 or 100 beats per minute, and drops a new word every 2 or 4 bars. Nothing is recorded. **Is it good for kids and classrooms?** Yes. The easy words are everyday words with big rhyme families, like cat, cake and moon, and every word list is family-friendly. Battle mode with the group as judge works for children who cannot type fast yet. **What word has no rhyme?** Orange, purple, silver and month are the famous ones: no common English word rhymes with them perfectly. The game accepts near rhymes, so porridge for orange or lunch for month still score. **Do I need to sign up or download an app?** No. There is no account, no registration and nothing to install. Open the page and play, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. It is free, and your best scores stay on your device. ## Related tools - [Rhyming Words](https://linguaholic.com/tools/rhyming-words/): Find words that rhyme with any word: perfect rhymes first, then near rhymes, words with the same vowel sound, and phrases, with the most common words on top. - [Hangman](https://linguaholic.com/games/hangman/): Play the classic word-guessing game in your browser: tens of thousands of family-friendly dictionary words from easy to expert, 48 categories, famous phrases, a 2-player secret-word mode, hints, and a score streak. - [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/): Play the classic categories word game online: a random letter, a list of categories, and a timer — on one screen with a scoreboard or on everyone's phone with a game code — plus a random category generator with 700+ original categories. - [Charades Generator](https://linguaholic.com/games/charades-generator/): Tap for a random word or phrase to act out from over 2,000 original charades ideas in 16 categories and three levels, with a kids mode, a team game with timer and score on one phone, and printable cards. - [Anagram Solver](https://linguaholic.com/tools/anagram-solver/): Solve any anagram from a 179,000-word list: every word that uses all your letters, the shorter words by length, two- and three-word anagrams of names and phrases, and a check for any two words. - [Imposter Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/imposter-game/): Play the Imposter party word game right in your browser — pass one phone around or join on everyone's phone with a game code.

A **rebus puzzle** hides a word or a saying in the way words and letters are drawn: where they sit, how big they are, which way they face and how many there are. **MIND** written over **MATTER** is *mind over matter*. **CYCLE CYCLE CYCLE** is a *tricycle*. The name comes from Latin: a rebus says something “with things” instead of with words. This page has **253 rebus puzzles with answers**, all written for Linguaholic: 90 easy, 114 medium and 49 hard. Solve them one by one with hints, play them as a team quiz, or print them. **No sign-up, no account and no app:** open the page and play, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. ## How to play ### Solve 1. Look at the puzzle and say out loud what you see: “mind over matter”, “three cycles”, “stairs going up”. 2. Type the answer and press Check. Small spelling slips get a “so close”, and a, an and the do not matter. 3. Stuck? The first hint is a clue, the second shows the first letter of every word. 4. A puzzle solved without a hint is worth 3 points, with the clue 2, with the first letters 1. Solve several in a row for a streak. 5. Liked one? Send it to a friend: the link opens the game on that puzzle. ### Quiz with teams For a classroom, a party or game night.

When the time is up or someone shouts the answer, show it and give the point to the team that got it first. The game keeps the score and names the winner. ### Print Choose the level and topics and print 12, 24 or all of them: 12 numbered puzzles a page with a line for each answer, and the answer key on the last page. ## Frequently asked questions **What is a rebus puzzle?** A rebus puzzle shows a word or a saying with the position, size, direction or number of words and letters. MIND written over MATTER is mind over matter; CYCLE CYCLE CYCLE is a tricycle. You solve it by saying out loud what you see. **How do you solve rebus puzzles?** Describe the puzzle in plain words: what is over, under or inside what, what is big, small, backwards or upside down, and how many times a word appears. Then look for a phrase you know in that description. Numbers and single letters often stand for words that sound the same: 4 is for, U is you, C is see. **Are the answers included?** Yes. Every puzzle has a hint, then the first letters, then the full answer in the game, and all 253 answers are on this page, folded shut by level so you do not read them by accident. **Can I print rebus puzzles?** Yes. Open Print, choose the level and topics, and print 12, 24 or all of them: twelve numbered puzzles a page with a line for each answer, and the answer key on the last page. **Are there rebus puzzles for kids?** Yes.

Every puzzle is family-friendly. **How can I use them in a classroom or at a party?** Open Quiz with teams, name up to six teams and put the page on the big screen.

One phone is the bowl, the timer and the scoreboard. No sign-up, no app, no paper. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/fishbowl-game/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 19, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/fishbowl-game/?teams=2&time=60 - `teams`: number of teams, 2 to 4 (for example `3`) - `time`: seconds per turn: 30, 45, 60 or 90 (for example `45`) - `rounds`: 4 adds a fourth round (sounds only) to the usual three (for example `4`) ## What is the fishbowl game? **Fishbowl** is a party game for teams. Everyone writes a few words or names on slips of paper, the slips go into a bowl, and the teams take turns getting their teammates to guess as many slips as they can before the time runs out. The trick: the same slips come back three times, and every round you may say less. It is also called **salad bowl**, **the hat game** or, when the slips are famous people, the **celebrity game**. On this page the phone is the bowl, the timer and the scoreboard. **No sign-up, no app and no paper:** pass one phone around and play. ## The three rounds | Round | What the clue-giver may do | | --- | --- | | 1. Describe it | Say anything you like to get your team to the word, but not the word itself, no part of it, no “sounds like” and no spelling. | | 2. One word | Give one single word as a clue. You may repeat it and point, but say nothing else. | | 3. Act it out | No talking at all: act it out, like charades. Sounds are not allowed either. | | Extra: Sounds only | Make sounds and noises, but no real words and no acting with your hands. | The rounds get harder, but by round three everyone has heard every word twice. That is what makes the game funny: a single clue word or a silly gesture from round one can carry a word all the way to the end. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play fishbowl?** Split into two or more teams and fill a bowl with words or names. In round 1 a player describes as many words as possible before the time runs out while their team guesses. Then the next team plays with the words that are left. When the bowl is empty, round 2 starts with the same words, but only one word may be said as a clue; in round 3 the words are acted out. The team with the most points after the last round wins. **Is fishbowl the same as salad bowl or the celebrity game?** Yes. Fishbowl, salad bowl, the hat game and the celebrity game are names for the same game. In the celebrity game the slips are names of famous people; in fishbowl they can be anything. **What words should we put in the bowl?** A mix of things everyone knows: people, characters, places, animals, foods and objects. Three to five slips per player is enough; 30 to 50 slips make a good game. If you are short of ideas, add words from our list of more than 2,000 family-friendly words. **How many players do you need?** At least four, in two teams of two. It works best with 6 to 12 players. The game supports up to four teams. **How long does a game take?** About 30 to 45 minutes with 40 slips, 60 seconds a turn and three rounds. Fewer slips or shorter turns make it quicker. **Can we skip a word?** Yes. Skip puts the word back into the bowl and shows the next one. The last word of a round cannot be skipped. **Do we need paper and a bowl?** No. The phone holds the slips, draws them at random, runs the timer and keeps the score, so you only need one phone and your friends. **Do I need to sign up or download an app?** No. There is no account and nothing to install. Open the page on any phone and play. The words you type stay on that phone. ## Related tools - [Charades Generator](https://linguaholic.com/games/charades-generator/): Tap for a random word or phrase to act out from over 2,000 original charades ideas in 16 categories and three levels, with a kids mode, a team game with timer and score on one phone, and printable cards. - [Imposter Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/imposter-game/): Play the Imposter party word game right in your browser — pass one phone around or join on everyone's phone with a game code.

An anagram is a word made by rearranging the letters of another: *listen* and *silent*. In the **Anagram Game** you get six or seven letters and find every word they make, from three-letter words up to the one word that uses them all. There are 2,123 puzzles, each built from an everyday word, and the game checks every answer against our word list. **No sign-up, no account and no app:** open the page and play, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. ## How to play 1. Tap the letters to spell a word, or type it on your keyboard. Press Enter to check it. 2. Words need at least three letters, and each letter can be used once per word. 3. Stuck? Shuffle the letters (or press the space bar): a new order often shows a new word. 4. The boxes under the letters count the words of each length: how many you found and how many there are. 5. Rarer words score points too. They show in italics and do not count toward the word total. 6. At the end you see the words you missed and the word that uses every letter. ### Three ways to play - **Timed:** 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes on the clock, 970 six-letter and 1,153 seven-letter puzzles. - **Relaxed:** no clock, and a hint button that shows the first two letters and the length of a word you have not found. - **Daily:** one seven-letter puzzle a day, the same for everyone. Your progress is kept in your browser until midnight, so you can come back to it. Once you show all the words, that day’s puzzle is done. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play the anagram game?** You get six or seven letters. Make as many words of three letters or more as you can from them, using each letter once per word. Tap the letters or type them and press Enter. The game checks every word and shows how many words of each length are still hidden. **How are points scored?** A three-letter word scores 1 point, and every extra letter adds 1 more, so a seven-letter word scores 5. A word that uses all the letters earns a 3-point bonus. **Which words count?** Any English word of three letters or more in our word list, including plurals and verb forms. Names, abbreviations and rude words do not count. Less common words count too; they are marked as rare. **What is the daily puzzle?** Every day there is one seven-letter puzzle with the same letters for everyone. Your progress is saved in your browser, so you can come back later the same day, and you can send your score to a friend as a challenge. **Can I play without a timer?** Yes. Relaxed mode has no clock and gives hints: the first two letters and the length of a word you have not found yet. **How is this different from an anagram solver?** The solver lists every word your letters make. The game hides them and lets you find them yourself. If you want the answers for your own letters, use the Anagram Solver. **Can I challenge a friend?** Yes. At the end, send the challenge link or let your friend scan the code: they get the same letters and try to beat your points. **Do I need to sign up or download an app?** No. There is no account and nothing to install.

A few players are secretly werewolves; everyone else is a villager. At night the werewolves quietly choose a victim. In the day the whole village talks, accuses and votes someone out, hoping it is a werewolf. The village wins when every werewolf is gone; the werewolves win when they are as many as the villagers. The same game is also called **Mafia**, its original name. Normally one person has to sit out as the narrator, with a deck of role cards and a lot to remember. Here the phone does that work: it deals the roles in secret, reads the night script aloud, remembers who the werewolves picked and who the doctor saved, and announces the winner. **No sign-up, no app, no cards:** open the page and play. ## Three ways to play | Mode | How it works | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | One phone, with a narrator | The phone is passed around once to show everyone their role, then one person keeps it and runs the nights. They see every role and tap the night’s choices. | Big groups, first games, classrooms | | One phone, no narrator | The phone reads the script aloud. At night the role that is called picks the phone up, makes its choice and puts it down. Everyone plays. | Small groups who want everyone in | | Everyone’s phone | The host creates a 7-character code. Players scan the square or open the invite link and see their own role. The host’s phone runs the nights, or, with no narrator, one phone in the middle does. | Groups where everyone has a phone | ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play Werewolf?** Every player secretly gets a role. A few are werewolves, the rest are villagers, some with a special power. At night everyone closes their eyes; the werewolves wake up and choose a player to attack, and the special roles use their powers. In the day the village learns who was attacked, talks it over and votes one player out. The village wins when every werewolf is out; the werewolves win when there are as many of them as villagers. **Is Werewolf the same as Mafia?** Yes. Mafia is the original name of the game, invented in Moscow in the 1980s; Werewolf is the same game with villagers and werewolves instead of townspeople and mafia. The roles have different names in different groups (the doctor is sometimes called the guardian, the seer the detective), but the rules are the same. **How many players do you need?** At least 5, and it gets better with 8 to 15. The game here supports 5 to 20 players. With 5 or 6 players use one werewolf, with 7 to 9 two, with 10 to 13 three. **Can we play without a narrator?** Yes. Choose 'The phone' under 'Who runs the game?'. The phone reads the script aloud, and at night the role that is called picks the phone up, makes its choice and puts it back down, while everyone else keeps their eyes closed. Then everyone can play. **What do the special roles do?** The seer learns each night whether one player is a werewolf. The doctor protects one player from the werewolves (not the same player two nights in a row). The hunter takes one player down with them when they die. The witch can save the werewolves' victim once and poison one player once per game. The jester wins alone if the village votes them out. **Can everyone see their role on their own phone?** Yes. Choose Everyone's phone, create a game code and share the invite link or the square code. Each player opens it, picks their player number and sees their own role; the werewolves also see who the other werewolves are. The narrator runs the nights on the host's phone. **Does it work offline?** Once the page has loaded, yes. The roles are worked out on each phone from the game code, so no server and no internet connection are needed during the game. **Do I need to sign up or download an app?** No. There is no account and nothing to install. Open the page in any phone browser and play. It is free. ## Related tools - [Imposter Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/imposter-game/): Play the Imposter party word game right in your browser — pass one phone around or join on everyone's phone with a game code.

One player, the **answerer**, has a secret thing in mind. Everyone else asks questions that can only be answered with yes or no. Guess the thing within 20 questions and the askers win; run out of questions and the answerer wins. It works in the car, at the dinner table, in a classroom or on a video call. This page does the parts that are easy to get wrong. It picks a secret thing from 720 everyday things, shows it only to the answerer (on this phone, or on the answerer’s own phone through a link or a square code), counts the questions, keeps a list of the answers and offers 244 question ideas. **No sign-up and no app:** open it and play. ## How to play 20 Questions 1. **Choose the answerer.** Pick the categories and level, then show the secret thing on this phone or send it to the answerer’s phone. Or choose *Think of your own*. 2. **Ask.** The askers take turns asking yes-or-no questions. After each answer, tap Yes, No or Sort of; the phone counts and keeps the list. 3. **Guess.** A guess (“Is it a penguin?”) counts as a question too. When someone gets it, tap *Guessed it*. 4. **Swap.** After question 20 the askers get one last guess. Then the next player becomes the answerer. ## Frequently asked questions **How do you play 20 Questions?** One player, the answerer, has a secret thing in mind. The others take turns asking questions that can be answered with yes or no. If they guess the thing within 20 questions, the askers win; if not, the answerer wins. Then someone else becomes the answerer. **What are good first questions in 20 Questions?** Questions that split everything in half: Is it alive? Is it an animal? Is it bigger than a breadbox? Can you eat it? Is it found indoors? Is it made by people? After three or four of these you know roughly what kind of thing it is. **How does the answerer get the secret on their own phone?** Tap 'Send it to the answerer's phone'. The answerer scans the square code with their camera or opens the link, and their phone shows the secret thing. The link does not spell the word, so the askers cannot read it. The askers keep the first phone, which counts the questions. **What kind of things can come up?** 720 everyday things in 12 categories: animals, food, things at home, places, nature, jobs, sports and games, vehicles, body parts, school, kitchen and fantasy creatures, each marked easy, medium or hard. Pick the categories and levels you want. **Is 20 Questions good for kids?** Yes. It teaches children to sort things into groups and ask smart questions. Choose the Kids categories and the easy level, and allow 30 questions for younger players. **What is the difference between 20 Questions and 21 Questions?** 20 Questions is a guessing game: one person has a secret thing and the others ask yes-or-no questions to find it. 21 Questions is a getting-to-know-you game where two people take turns asking each other personal questions. **Can the answerer think of their own thing?** Yes. Choose 'Think of your own'. The phone then only counts the questions, keeps the answers and gives question ideas, so the answerer can pick anything at all. **Do I need to sign up or download an app?** No. There is no account and nothing to install.

No sign-up, no app. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/games/cryptogram/ - Type: free browser game, no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 20, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/games/cryptogram/?mode=play&level=easy&category=funny - `mode`: daily (today's puzzle), play (random puzzles) or print (a printable sheet) (for example `play`) - `level`: easy, medium or hard (for example `easy`) - `category`: topics, comma-separated: proverbs, wisdom, funny, friendship, love, nature, words, winter (a level or topic alone also opens a puzzle) (for example `funny`) - `q`: a challenge: the puzzle number (used with k) (for example `271`) - `k`: a challenge: the code key number, so the friend gets the same coded letters (for example `4242`) - `t`: a challenge: the time to beat in seconds (for example `95`) ## What is a cryptogram? A **cryptogram** is a puzzle in which a short text, usually a proverb or a saying, is written in a simple code: every letter has been swapped for another letter. The same code letter always stands for the same real letter, and no letter stands for itself. You win by working out the real letters until the saying reads again. Word lovers have been solving them in newspapers and puzzle books for over a hundred years. Here you solve them on screen: tap a code letter, type the real one, and every copy fills in at once. **No sign-up and no app:** there is a new daily cryptogram every day at midnight (your time), 439 puzzles to play any time, and sheets to print. ## How to solve a cryptogram 1. **Start with the short words.** A one-letter word is A or I. A three-letter word that appears twice is probably THE or AND. 2. **Look at the apostrophes.** One letter after an apostrophe is usually S or T; two letters are often LL, RE or VE. 3. **Count the letters.** Open *Letter counts*: the most common code letters often stand for E, T, A, O, I or N, the most common letters in English. 4. **Use patterns.** A word like XYZZX has a double letter in the middle and starts and ends with the same letter. Words with repeated letters (LITTLE, PEOPLE, BETTER) are easy to spot. 5. **Let every letter help.** Each letter you place fills in across the whole puzzle and turns half-words into new clues. When you are stuck, a hint reveals one letter. ## Frequently asked questions **What is a cryptogram?** A cryptogram is a short text, usually a saying or a quote, in which every letter has been replaced by another letter. The same code letter always stands for the same real letter, and no letter stands for itself. You crack it by working out which letter is which. **How do you solve a cryptogram?** Start with the short words: a one-letter word is almost always A or I, and common three-letter words are THE and AND. Look for an apostrophe followed by one letter (usually S or T). Use the letter counts: the most frequent code letters often stand for E, T, A or O. Every letter you place fills in everywhere, which gives you new clues. **How do I play on this page?** The first code letter is already selected: tap the real letter on the keyboard below (or type it on your own keyboard), and every copy of that code letter fills in at once. Tap any other code letter to work on it.

Medium puzzles are longer with one letter given. Hard puzzles are the longest and give you nothing. Choose the level and the topics you like under Puzzles. **Can I print cryptograms?** Yes. Open the Print tab, choose how many puzzles you want and the level, and print.
