What's this type of graph called? Some kind of heatmap?

Last I checked that's not a word?

“Rivers of the World, Unite!”

• The Ocean, probably

How is there a 1 letter work with 3 syllables….?

It was the six nine-letter words with only one syllable that caught my eye.

I am on a fast right now and I have created something similar.
For my case I have added vertical lines indicating weeks, some dashed horizontal lines for BMI (which in my case is more interesting to me, since I am trying to leave "obese" into a cozy "overweight" lol) and I am not giving dates but rather days since start.

Nice progress, keep doing what you are doing.

W. (double-you)

Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft used to be famous for a while as the longest, but it's only 8 syllables as well. Do not know the current status. Of course you can just create longer words, but they are then not 'official' (as far as that exists).

I will create one for you:

Schwerbehindertenvertretungsfachkraftassistent/in.

13 syllables or 14 for the female version. Would be the assistant to a person that works in a council for people with disabilities. Probably wouldn't be named like this, since we wouldn't go that far, but it's possible in principle.

That’s weird, sure but I wanna know what the 3 syllable 1-letter word is.

Are the words lemmatized or are "play" and "played" counted as two separate words?

Given that everyone misuses the word acronym to describe initialisms, I think the definitions are on their way to being totally conflated.

“Stretched” will do

Huh, ok, expansive definition of “word” I guess but they can make the graphic any way they want. It is overall a pretty cool illustration.

In the end that's what sound we produce when saying acronyms, so I would say it's a valuable abstraction for the visualisation.

You are correct. NASCAR, NASA, SCUBA, RADAR are all examples of acronyms (Initialisms that are pronounced as a word). FBI, CIA, GED, are examples of initialisms where each individual letter is said.

I've just verified that this is due to the letters "a" through "z" along with the numerals "0" through "9."

How can there be 36 single-letter words when there are only 26 letters? Which single letters have more than 1meaning? 🧐🤔🤨

Yes.
