- 3Read the acronym and the words it came from.
- 4Optionally type any acronym in the second box and generate five phrase expansions for it.
Input: "National Aeronautics and Space Administration". With joining words skipped, the acronym is NASA. With every word counted, it would be NAASA, which is why the skip option exists.
- The skip list covers the, of, and, a, an, for, to, in, on, by, with, at, from and or.
- Backronym expansions pick one bank word per letter at random; the bank holds positive, neutral words for all 26 letters, so regenerate for more options.
- Numbers in a phrase contribute their digit as an acronym character.
A phrase invented to fit an existing acronym, the reverse of how acronyms normally form. The expansion generator creates them from a word bank, one word per letter.
