WordBloom
A poetic exploration of the anagram, where every word hides other worlds. A celebration of the plasticity of the French language.
Concept
Just as Perec explored the constraints of Oulipo, WordBloom celebrates the metamorphosis of letters: every word contains other worlds waiting to be discovered. MARIE becomes AIMER, CHIEN becomes NICHE, and ALBERT EINSTEIN reveals that « RIEN N’EST ÉTABLI ».
Intent
The game explores the flexibility of the French language through play. The anagram is not merely a word puzzle, but an invitation to perceive semantic permeability: words are not fixed, they transform and reveal new meanings when their letters are rearranged.
Technical Approach
WordBloom is a Progressive Web App developed in React and TypeScript. Its anagram engine uses an optimised French lexical database to generate valid combinations in real time. The mobile-first responsive interface provides a fluid experience across devices.
