Word Webs

word

flop

refresh

The selected word is flop. The lookup string is *lop.

This Demonstration groups a selected word

w

with similar words in a web structure. The similar words are found by removing the first letter of

w

and identifying new words with the resulting lookup string. For example, if

w

is "flop", we can get "plop".

The words in each connected component share the same terminal string; for example, "redevelop" and "overdevelop" both end with "evelop".

The "refresh" button generates a new random sample of associated words, and thus a new word web or sometimes a different representation of the same word web.

Use the "word" drop-down menu to choose from the set given or a random word. Each web will have at least four unique word associations.

The initial word map code was found on the jack of spades Code Card[1].

This was a project for Advanced Topics in Mathematics II, 2019–2020, Torrey Pines High School, San Diego, CA.
