Field notes
Input rules ignore accents, spaces, and apostrophes, while letters count. The interface says results appear below the input and can be shared or copied; it also offers a control to try another word. The example prompts include “grolle,” “cul vaseux,” and “boursin,” giving a glimpse of the vocabulary before any calculation is run.
