How it works
- 1
Type or paste the words.
One per line, or separated by commas. Up to 15.
- 2
Say whether the order matters.
On keeps your order, as for steps in a process. Off lets Qenot look for an order that spells a real, easy-to-say word.
- 3
Keep the one you like.
Ask for another, or switch to Sentence when the letters won't make a word. Copy, print or share it.
What makes a good acronym
- Short and easy to say. ROY G BIV works because you can say it out loud.
- A real word when the order doesn't matter: HOMES is easier to recall than SMHEO.
- A sentence when it does and the letters won't make a word: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally for PEMDAS.
Common questions
How do I make an acronym?
Take the first letter of each word in your list and put them together. Qenot does that for you, and when the order doesn't matter it looks for an order that spells a real word.
What if the letters don't make a word?
Use an acrostic instead: a sentence with one word for each letter, like Every Good Boy Does Fine. The Sentence tab makes one from the same list.
Can I use it for a project or team name?
Yes. Turn off Order matters, and Qenot looks for a real, easy-to-say word in your letters. Add a few words about what it's for in the title box to steer it.
Do I need an account?
No. You can make up to 10 lists a day without one. With a Qenot account you get 50 a day, and you can keep each mnemonic in Recall, which brings it back just before you'd forget it.
