How it works

The wordinator takes up to the last three words in an input phrase: word1, word2, and word3

It compares it with the 3 ngrams that make up a corpus: ngram1, ngram2, ngram3 to find an associated prediction with those ngrams.

First it tests to see if there is a perfect match, then it tries a series of less likely matches…

Additional tests

2- word2 = ngram2, word3 = ngram3
3- word1 = ngram1, word3 = ngram3
4- word1 = ngram1, word2 = ngram2
5- word3 = ngram3
6- word1 = ngram2, word3 = ngram3
7- word1 = ngram2, word2 = ngram3
8- word2 = ngram1, word3 = ngram3
9- word1 = ngram1, word2 = ngram3
10- word2 = ngram2
11- word2 = ngram1, word3 = ngram2
12- word1 = ngram1, word3 = ngram2
13- word1 = ngram1

Frequencies

In each additional test, all potential answers are compared, and the single most frequent answer for each test is chosen as the best result for that test.

In the unlikely event no matches have been discovered, the word “the” is chosen.

As a final step, a language filter is applied, slightly censoring the possible results if they are one of Carlin's seven words.
