Hello, I’m new to website development and just made my first website that helps people find specific words that rhyme and other writing tips for students/professionals. I was wondering if I could make a dictionary tool that helps users find words that rhyme and put it on WordPress. If yes, where should I start? (Sorry, I’m a complete beginner with no prior coding experience.)
Thanks in advance <3
Your title says meter, your post says putting rhymes into Wordpress. I’m not a literary scholar, but i’m fairly certain those are different concepts. Which are you trying to do?
Hi sorry for the confusion. What I’m trying to do is make a tool like a rhyme finder, and put it on WP website maybe as an iframe. I don’t know if it’s possible or not, what should I learn in order to make this (as I stated above, I’m a complete beginner on this matter).
Since English spelling and pronunciation is so weird and can vary with which “flavour” of English you’re using, I can’t really see any way to do this short of building your own database of rhyming words.
I think a database would be the way to go. But it is going to take some thought about how to acheive this.
I’m thinking probably having a table of words, then a table of phonetic sounds.
I would go with sounds, as spellings of partial words strings won’t be reliable with all the perculiarities of pronounciation.
Then you would have a Look-Up-Table to match words to sounds, which may then match words to words.
Except you’ll struggle when you get to the word “read”.
English is hard.
Absolutely! WordPress is a great platform for integrating tools like a rhyming dictionary. You can start by exploring plugins like “Rhyme Time” or “WordFinder” which offer features to assist users in finding words that fit specific meters. These plugins usually come with simple installation and customization options, making them ideal for beginners with no coding experience. Good luck with your website!
