How does the tool match words to emoji?

It checks each word in your text against a built-in dictionary of common words and their associated emoji. Matches are case-insensitive and also handle simple plurals like "cats" matching "cat".

What happens to words with no emoji match?

Unmatched words are shown without suggestions and are left unchanged in the output sentence. Only recognized words get emoji options.

What is the difference between the two modes?

"Suggestions" mode shows every match for each word so you can browse options. "Build a sentence" mode lets you click suggestions to actually insert emoji into your original text and produce a copyable result.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All matching and lookups happen in your browser using a local dictionary. Nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.

Can one word have more than one emoji suggestion?

Yes. Many words map to two or three related emoji, for example "happy" suggests both a smiling face and a grinning face so you can pick the one that fits your tone.
