A numeronym shortens a long word by counting the characters between its first and last letters. For example, internationalization has 18 letters between i and n, so it becomes i18n. Numeronym makes these abbreviations as you type.
Shorten two words
Type internationalization accessibility into Words. Numeronyms should show i18n a11y. The space stays between the two results. Words of three letters or fewer, like cat, remain unchanged. Punctuation is not converted as part of a word: cat! also remains as entered.
This tool recognizes groups of letters separated by whitespace. A hyphenated phrase and other punctuation may stop the whole token from being shortened. Use Copy or Download for the output, and keep the full spelling nearby when abbreviations would confuse readers.
