Acronymy is a backronym dictionary that anyone can edit. I like to think of it as a massively multiplayer online collaborative word game.
Acronymy begin life in 2014 as one of the first Sandstorm apps. In 2022, I ported it to the Cloudflare Workers platform and added many new features such as definition attribution and history.
For SIGBOVIK 2023, I made a 3-minute video about Acronymy, including a discussion of Acronymy Assistant, which is a tool that can provide automatic help in backronym construction.
After we surpassed 10,000 definitions in December 2024, I made a video to illustrate some definitions from the top contributors.
