FAQ

Why do 0 and 1 have no letters?

That is the traditional keypad layout: letters sit on 2–9, 0 usually handles "+" and space, and 1 is generally left clear or given to voicemail. So the 1, 8, 0 and 0 in `1-800-FLOWERS` have no letters to expand into; the tool keeps them as-is rather than dropping them, which would shorten the number.

Why does expansion sometimes say there are too many combinations?

Each digit carries up to four letters, so seven digits already give 4⁷ = 16384 combinations, and a few more digits reaches the millions. The tool counts first and stops above 200, telling you exactly how many there would be, rather than enumerating until the page locks up. The built-in list mode is often more useful at that point.

Can it tell me what word 3569377 is?

In built-in list mode, yes. It ships a small list of common words (FLOWERS = 3569377, PIZZA = 74992 and so on) and finds matching words and their positions inside the digits. The list is deliberately small — it demonstrates the idea, it is not a full dictionary.

Is my data uploaded?

No. The mapping and expansion happen entirely in your browser with no network requests; the number or word never reaches a server.
