Frequently Asked Questions

How does it count syllables?+

The tool uses vowel-cluster analysis combined with English pronunciation rules and exception dictionaries. It handles silent e's, diphthongs (oi, ou), and common irregularities, though some unusual words may require manual verification.

What is a haiku structure?+

Traditional haiku follows a 5-7-5 syllable pattern across three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third has 5. Modern English haiku sometimes relaxes these rules, but the 5-7-5 structure remains the classic form.
