Every Four Letter Word
Every Four Letter Word
Embedded Files
This graph has as its nodes a list of 5526 four letter words, and connects them via an edge whenever they differ by changing one letter (Lamp > Lamb). It turns out that most (but not all) four letter words can be reached from other four letter words!
The node for POOP is highlighted in brown, in case you would like to cheat at a game of poople.
You can run the simulation locally from the link below, though it does take some time to load. To view it, download the file and open it using your web browser. You can see individual words by zooming in on a portion of the graph.

Language can evolve, and with enough hard work we might be able to achieve a connected graph of four letter words. Here's what you need to do!
Open up a file below. You will find lots of pairs of words that are 2 letters apart.
Focus on a single section of your choice.
All you need to do is find a single pair of words in this section, and create a new word that'll bridge the gap (if you see ACRE and AIRY, then ACRY is a new word between them).
Come up with a definition for your new word.
Then, you can move on to a different section if you'd like.
If you've come up with a new word and definition that you're proud of, send me an email and I might put it up here. Then we can all start using it together and hopefully someday it'll be included in the dictionary.
