Worldbuilding Challenge - Describe your world using only the 1000 most used words in English!
Hi there r/goodworldbuilding,
There are a lot of words in the English dictionary, but sometimes, using all of them can be a bit frustrating to read. Let's make this a challenge!
Describe your world using only the 1000 most common words in English!
Rules:
- For the sake of uniformity, use this checker for words to avoid. It highlights them in red so you know what to break down into simpler terms.
- Proper nouns, such as the names of things, locations, and characters can be used even if they are outside the 1000, but they need to be defined in terms of the 1000 most common words.
- You can use numbers, but please keep them as digits.
- Make your comment as long or as short as you wish, but keep to the 1000 words in your toolbox.
- You can describe the world as a whole, a location, a character, or a single thing, but try to make it an interesting one.
- People put a lot of effort into their worlds, and conversation is always appreciated. Please read through others' submissions as well, and if you find something interesting, please reply to it.
- Replies to submissions need not use just the 1000 most common words, as, by then, such limitation would detract from the conversation.
For future iterations of this challenge, feel free to suggest better word-checkers.
