Useful beats obscure.
A word earns its place when it helps you say something you actually mean. In a meeting. In a message. Over dinner.
You already have
something to say.
We’re making Elo to help you find the words for it.
Always a little curious.There’s a moment in a conversation when a word sits just out of reach. You know the feeling. You know what you mean. You just wish you could say it a little better.
That’s where Elo begins.
We love a beautiful word. But we love a useful one even more: the one that makes a thought clearer, a story richer, or a difficult conversation a little easier.
So we’re building a place to meet those words. To notice the small differences between them. To try them out, come back to them, and eventually use them without a second thought.
No need to become a different person.
Just a little more yourself, in words.
Made with care at Twelve Ten.By Stavan, with a love of words.
Context makes it click.
Definitions get you started. The difference between candid and blunt, or curious and nosy, is where the interesting part begins.
Small is a good start.
You don’t need a free afternoon or a perfect streak. A moment of curiosity is enough to begin.
One word is a good place to startFind a word.
Find a word.
Make it yours.
