Frequently asked questions

What is an acronym?

An acronym is a short word formed from the first letters of a phrase, like NASA or ASAP. This tool builds one automatically from whatever phrase you type.

Why would I skip minor words?

Small connecting words like the, of and and usually are not included in real acronyms. Turning on Skip minor words gives a cleaner, more natural result, for example 'United States of America' becomes USA rather than USOA.

Does it work with numbers?

Yes. The first letter or digit of each word is used, so a word starting with a number contributes that digit to the acronym.
