About Acronymaker

Acronymaker was created in May 2024 by two students tired of forgetting things. It initially started out barely being capable of handling 4-word inputs; now, it can easily handle inputs up to 7 words with 5 synonyms each.

Mnemonic acronyms have always been recognized as an effective way to memorize lists of, well, anything. In fact, they've been scientifically proven to enhance memory, making them an invaluable tool for students studying for exams and trying to remember all the material covered.

The problem is, generating acronyms from a list of words is a surprisingly complex task; humans and even AI (including ChatGPT!) are very bad at it, especially when it comes to using synonyms. This is because the number of possible acronyms for an input gets very large, very quickly — here are some examples:

• 2 words, 2 synonyms each: 8 possible acronyms
• 3 words, 3 synonyms each: 162 possible acronyms
• 4 words, 4 synonyms each: 6144 possible acronyms
• 7 words, 7 synonyms each: 4,150,656,720 possible acronyms

The number of those possible acronyms that form actual memorable words is comparatively very low, so trying to find them is like trying to find needles in a haystack. For the Acronymaker algorithm, it's as simple as doing the same task over and over again quickly, but for humans and AI, it's downright impossible.

This is also what sets Acronymaker apart from other acronym generators; rather than using AI or randomization to come up with acronyms, our algorithm sifts through every possible acronym and only gives you the most memorable ones, leaving no stone unturned.

In addition to this website, you can also find Acronymaker listed on Anki, which is a popular open source study app — here's the link: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/194234494.
