Word Microscope* - learn about the Word Microscope project, or download an experimental PC version.

Word Microscope can help you analyse words, create word sums, build word families and make word matrices.

Mini Matrix-Maker* - provide it with a list of word sums, and this web-tool will build a word matrix for you.

* We're aiming to create paid-for versions of Word Microscope and Mini Matrix-Maker, but demonstration and test versions can be used for free.
