Poetry√ is an experimental writing app for poets and language lovers who want to explore the structure and beauty of square stanza poems — an intricate poetic form where every word appears across both rows and columns in a 6×6 grid. The app combines language, logic, and design to help writers visualize and refine this challenging art form.
- 🎨 6×6 Interactive Word Grid – Enter a six-word sentence to automatically populate the rows and columns.
- 🌈 Color-Coded Word Types – Each word’s background color reflects its part of speech:
- 🔴 Nouns
- 🔵 Verbs
- 🟢 Adjectives
- 🟡 Pronouns
- ⚪ Others / Unknown
⚠️ Contextual Warnings – The app detects when neighboring word types may produce incoherent phrases.- 💫 Smooth Animations – Words fade and scale into the grid as you build your poem.
- 📱 Responsive Design – Works beautifully on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- 📤 Export as Image – Instantly save or share your completed word grid as a PNG.
