Word Wide Web

Word Wide Web is a word-weaving platform that creates poems through connected synonyms. Inspired by the Korean nursery rhyme ‘Red Like an Apple,’ it helps writers create chain poetry by connecting words through semantic relationships.

Interface for weaving chain poetry

During SFPC's Human-Scale Natural Language Processing class, our class collaborated to label words using a system that breaks down text into 16 parts of speech and 6 criteria pairs (like dog-cat, concrete-intangible, utilitarian-romantic). Inspired by this experience, I created a platform that helps writers find similar words based on these semantic measurements.

1. Enter your starting word.
2. Browse through suggested related words provided by Word Wide Web.
3. You can add your own words if you don't find what you're looking for (some words may not exist in our database).
4. Continue connecting words to craft your poem.
