Frequently asked questions

Acronym vs initialism?▾

An acronym is pronounced as a word (NASA, scuba); an initialism is spelled out (FBI, USA). This tool generates the letters — pronunciation is up to you.

Why skip stopwords?▾

Skipping 'the', 'of' etc. produces tighter acronyms. NASA skips 'and' (National Aeronautics and Space Administration → NASA, not NAASA).

Does it handle hyphenated words?▾

Hyphenated words count as one word — only the first letter is taken. Split with a space for separate letters.
