How to Use Acronymaker

Acronymaker is best used for cases where you're trying to make a mnemonic acronym to remember some concept or list, for example the mnemonic HOMES for the great lakes:

• Huron
• Ontario
• Michigan
• Eerie
• Superior

If you're using Acronymaker and it's not finding any acronyms, it's likely due to one of four reasons:

• Not enough vowels
• Not enough consonants
• Too many uncommon consonants
• Too many of the same starting letter

Any given input to Acronymaker is highly likely to give you acronyms if it has enough vowels and consonants, there aren't too many starting letter repeats, and there aren't too many uncommon consonants like Z or J. Ideally, you want to have synonyms that start with either a vowel or a common consonant in place for every word that begins with an uncommon consonant.

If your input doesn't have enough vowels or consonants, or if it repeats the same starting letter too much, don't add new words or remove existing ones; just add new synonyms. As for inputs that are 8 words and above, there are no guarantees; the number of possible acronyms is very high for these combinations, so it can easily become unfeasible for the algorithm to find valid acronyms within a reasonable time.
