Bust your writer's block, and create new metaphors by playing the word association game . To begin, type a word or phrase in the box below, and hit enter. To quickly find associations for your own text, highlight a word or phrase in it, and use the toolbox popup.
The associator learns contextual word associations from real literature, so it may return offensive results.
Results for:
I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.
- Submission Limit There is a limit of 200,000 characters, which is approximately 30,000 words. Anything longer should be submitted in smaller chunks, or it will be automatically trimmed.
- No document It looks like you forgot to enter your document. Paste it in and try again.
- Structure This tab shows sentence structure within the context of the document. Hover over a sentence to see its word count. Select a word or phrase, or click a sentence to get more information.
- Quotes This tab shows your quotations highlighted as Slick Write sees them.
More information »
- Sentence type flow Pieces with good flow will make use of all four sentence types, varying them to keep the reader interested.
- Sentence length flow Sentence length is indirectly related to sentence type, and is a good indicator of flow. Flow can be altered by adding, removing, lengthening, shortening, combining, or splitting sentences. Long sentences will be indicated by a red line on the graph. Sentences that flow poorly with their surroundings will be orange, and the source of the problem can often be found in a nearby sentence.
- Word length flow Word length is a minor contributor to overall flow, but even minor variations are signs of good rhythm.
- Passive Voice Index This is a measure of how frequently the passive voice is used. Consider revising your document if it scores over 100.
- Prepositional Phrase Index This is a measure of how frequently prepositional phrases are used. Consider revising your document if it scores over 100.
- Average sentence length Sentence length is a major contributor to the level of education required to read a body of text.
- Sentence length standard deviation This is a measure of the amount of variation in the length of a text's sentences. In texts that have broad appeal, this tends to fall between 50 and 90% of the average sentence length. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.
- Sentence deviation to length ratio This is a measure of the sentence variety, and a major contributor to flow. Most novels score between 0.5 and 0.9, and popular ones often score near the high end of the range. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.
- Just the stats preset Use this preset when you're only interested in the stats tab. Critique and Flow will be hidden.
- Honesty preset This preset checks for common indicators of deception, either by lying or omission, and is based on the findings of this study . Areas with high concentrations of these indicators should be viewed with skepticism. Note that the presence or absence of these indicators does not guarantee that a statement is true or false, and that the study was done on spoken communications, so it might be more applicable to interviews and speeches. As always, use your brain.
- Doubled words A word used twice in a row may be a typo.
- Commonly confused words This will check for the internet's most frequently confused words and notify you if it looks like you misused one. It is experimental and probably the least reliable feature. Consult a dictionary when necessary.
- Sentences starting with the same word A word should not be used to start more than one sentence in a single paragraph.
- Misplaced conjunctions It is considered poor style to place coordinating conjunctions at either end of a sentence. Placing a subordinating conjunction at the end of a sentence is against the rules.
It is said that one day, passive voice will bring weakness to your prose.
More information » Even more information »
- Overwriting Words like "very" and "really" make sentences wordier and weaken your message. These can be deleted in almost all cases without affecting the meaning of the sentence.
- Abstract words Abstract words lack specificity and overusing them can make even simple concepts difficult to understand. There are times when abstract words are desirable or even necessary; it would be difficult to write about math or programming without mentioning variables or functions, but you should use more specific terms whenever possible.
- Wordy and redundant phrases These phrases make your writing more difficult to understand. In most cases, they can be replaced with one or two words, or even deleted.
- Legalese These antiquated, arcane words and phrases will make your writing look like a contract.
- Double negatives Double negatives are almost always poor style.
- Adverbs They aren't bad in small quantities, but consider revising your document if more than 5.5% of its words are adverbs. Adverbs ending in "-ly" are considered the worst offenders.
- Adjectives They aren't bad in small quantities. A few of the words on this list can also function as other parts of speech. You have been warned.
- Contractions In formal writing, the use of contractions is considered a fault.
The boxer decked his opponent.
- Profanity Profanity should not be used in formal writing outside of direct quotations.
The critic's scathing review hit the nail on the head .
- Similes Similes and metaphors should be used sparingly. This option will detect most common types of similes.
- "Said" replacements Some people think that these substitutes for "said" are weak or obnoxious, especially if overused.
Her dress was long , and it touched the floor.
Her long dress touched the floor.
- Gender-specific pronouns Avoid using gender-specific pronouns in formal writing when the subject's gender is unknown.
- Weasel words Like abstract words, weasel words and phrases lack specificity. At best, they convey uncertainty. At worst, they can be used to "weasel out" of telling the truth in a straightforward manner. When checking a document that is speculative by nature, you might want to disable this detector.
- Third person pronouns According to this study , high concentrations of third person pronouns may indicate deception.
- Bias language These words and phrases often show the author's bias.
- Uncommon words Uncommon words will increase the document's reading difficulty.
Hot peppers burn my mouth, but I eat them anyway .
Since burritos taste good , I like to eat them.
- Sentence fragments A sentence must have at least one noun and one verb. Anything that does not is a fragment, and if it occurs outside of dialog, it should probably be rewritten.
- Long sentences Long sentences tend to be more difficult to read, making them good candidates for trimming or splitting. Alternatively, parallelism may be used to improve their readability, though this will not decrease the ARI score.

Opinion: For Sweden, Russian aggression is a daily worry
By Jay Evensen
For most Americans, the war in Ukraine takes on a distant hue that makes it easy to talk about in broad terms. For some, distance makes the war easier to dismiss.
To many people in Europe, however, it’s a much more vivid and constant worry.
I just returned from another two-week stay in Sweden, my third within the past 12 months. My wife and her siblings are inheriting property there.
Each time I have visited, Ukraine has been top-of-mind in the media and in casual conversation, in ways that conveyed an emotion Americans have a hard time feeling thousands of miles away. This time was no different.
“Russian plot: ‘Gotland target for nuclear weapons’” was a blaring headline less than a week ago in Expressen , a national daily newspaper I bought off the stand. Gotland is Sweden’s largest island, located in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It has been a tourist destination for many years, and it contains some of the nation’s most intriguing archeological finds (in 1999, the world’s largest collection of Viking silver treasure was discovered in a farmer’s field).
It’s also important militarily, and even more so since Sweden joined NATO earlier this year. Sweden has plans to put more advanced missile defense systems and military equipment on the island.
So when Russian military expert Vladimir Prochvatilov wrote on a Russian website that Gotland would become “target number one” for a Russian nuclear attack in the event of a war with NATO, it got people’s attention.
“It would be better for Sweden to remain a neutral country and for the island of Gotland to remain a tourist mecca, a historical museum and a nature reserve, than to become the number one target for Russian nuclear missiles,” Prochvatilov wrote.
More jarringly, he said, “The hopes of the Swedish authorities that in the event of a direct military conflict with Russia this small country will be able to avoid the total destruction of its mainland infrastructure and mass deaths of the population are illusory.”
At the start of such a war, Russia would launch nuclear weapons at Sweden “to prevent NATO cruise missile strikes on ships of the Baltic and Northern Fleets.”
In response to this, Expressen quoted an associate professor of war science at the Norwegian Defense University, who labeled it a scare tactic, or “diplomacy of intimidation,” aimed at getting Sweden to rethink its plans to militarize the island.
Reports such as these are jarring to a nation that managed to escape any conflict in either world war, and that hasn’t fought a war at all since 1814. But they also are evidence that Sweden’s decision to join NATO, and its plans for Gotland, are the right tactics.
Russia is clearly concerned. A separate story in Expressen said a Russian TV station had devoted considerable time to the militarization of Aland, a Finnish island not far from Gotland.
But perhaps more jarring than these reports are the recent statements of Sweden’s own government and military leaders.
At a conference earlier this year, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson urged people to prepare to defend themselves “with weapons in hand and our lives on the line.”
The nation’s supreme military commander, Gen. Micael Byden , showed photos of destruction and death in Ukraine that were projected against the backdrop of a snowy Swedish field. He asked, “Do you think this could be Sweden?”
Once again, as in earlier visits, the people I spoke with expressed strong support for Sweden joining NATO.
They also expressed worries over whether Americans, and especially politicians, were as committed to keeping Europe free as they are.
On that score, recent opinion polls, such as one by the University of Maryland and SSRS, showed that support for the U.S. staying the course in its support for Ukraine is surprisingly strong. A report on the poll by the Brookings Institution said that, when asked how long the U.S. should continue military aid, 48% said as long as necessary, with another 39% saying one to two years.
When broken out by political persuasion, the poll found 37% of Republicans saying as long as necessary, with 53% saying one to two years.
This, despite statements by former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance in opposition to further military aid.
For those who inevitably will ask, Sweden already spends 2.2% of its annual budget on its military, including an air force that has long been one of the strongest in Europe. That qualifies as exceeding the NATO target level of 2%.
Swedes no doubt would be comforted by the poll results. As I said after earlier visits, defense against Russian President Vladimir Putin is not a theoretical exercise for them, as it often seems to be in this country.
From what I know of history, the same could have been said for the way many Americans felt about belligerent countries before the outbreak of World War II.
