Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between concrete and abstract nouns?

Concrete nouns name things your senses can register (bridge, ocean); abstract nouns name concepts (freedom, patience). English classes test exactly this distinction.

Why would I filter?

Word games like taboo or vocabulary drills often need one kind; writers use concrete nouns to ground scenes and abstract ones for themes.

Can nouns repeat in one draw?

No, within one roll every noun is unique.
