People-first scope
We publish only material that supports word reasoning, geography learning, game design, or the site's tools. Topic popularity alone is not a reason to create a page. Every page must answer a reader need that is not already served elsewhere on the site.
Originality gate
A guide must add a worked method, decision framework, transparent calculation, checked example, or playable next step. Generic introductions, paraphrased competitor summaries, and repeated sections with only the topic name changed do not pass review.
No mass production
We do not create location-swapped, title-swapped, or near-identical daily pages. Imported drafts are checked for purpose, duplication, sourcing, title and H1 agreement, internal links, and residual heading markup before they can be published.
Automation and AI assistance
Automation may prepare an imported draft, run a calculation, check structure, or create a visual. Core game scoring remains rule-based. Generated material must still match the visible feature, avoid invented experience or credentials, and pass the same originality, accuracy, accessibility, and sourcing checks as other material.
Sources and uncertainty
Changing claims require a date and a trustworthy source. Calculations state assumptions and units. Editorial judgments are labeled as such. We do not fabricate research, testing, quotations, credentials, reviews, or player results.
Human review
Rules, examples, game data, links, metadata, and visual assets are reviewed as separate elements. A page can be held back even when its prose is complete if its examples, sources, functionality, or accessibility are not ready.
Corrections
Material factual errors are corrected on the relevant page and reflected in its updated date. A correction should preserve the original URL unless the page's purpose itself was invalid. Readers can report issues through the contact page.
Images and generated visuals
Wordmap uses original, simplified illustrations made for this site. Images are reviewed for relevance, dimensions, alternative text, and compressed WebP delivery. Decorative images use empty alternative text, while informative images describe their purpose.
Links
Card titles are the links. Descriptions remain plain text so readers and assistive technology receive concise, accurate link text. External references are chosen for the claim they support, not exchanged for placement or promotion.
