Word Play cut up generator

Word Play is a Cut Up engine inspired by Burroughs Cutups that uses a combination of randomness and pattern matching to find words that resonate together.

You can adjust the rules and sources to tweak the results to find fresh and unique word combinations.

  1. Adjust the options, rules, and word lists.
  2. Choose the number of words you want.
  3. Click "GENERATE!".

Check out My Word Play if you want to add some of your own words to the mix. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a pure cut-up engine, try Dictionary Cut Up.
