Word Fun is a site dedicated to uncovering the hidden essence of words. Random words are dynamically searched for one or two other words tucked inside. The results may suprise you. Ranging from interesting to hilarious, you can't spell wonderful without word fun.
The word lists were combined (and slightly modified) from the following sources, all released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0
- Wikipedia's list of 1000 basic words
- Wiktionary's list of the 10,000 most common words from Project Gutenberg
- Wiktionary's list of words extracted from A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English (Routledge, 2010)
- Wiktionary's list of the 10,000 most common words from TV and movie scripts
Note: Because the word lists are mostly from contented generated by users, you may encounter material that you find offensive or otherwise objectionable. Please use common sense and proper judgment when using the project's data.
The word lists are turned into tries, and those are used to perform sub-word
searches. See ts/trieify.ts and ts/search.ts for details.
The site's script, index.js, is bundled from the TypeScript source in the ts
directory using this command:
deno bundle ts/index.ts index.js
The deno.json file is implicitly required, as it specifies dom-related
libraries to use when bundling.
To test the Typescript files in the project, run:
deno test
To see code coverage for the tests, run:
deno test --coverage=.coverage; deno coverage .coverage
The .coverage directory is excluded in the .gitignore file, so it can safely
be used without altering the repository.
