Lemma
Discord bot · free

Drop a word. Your server decides if it's sacred.

One word. Ten ratings. Zero mercy.

  • Ready in a minute
  • English and Portuguese
  • No ads
How it works

Three steps. No manual.

  1. 1

    Post a word

    Just one, in the game channel. Or use /word.

  2. 2

    It becomes a card

    Lemma checks the dictionary and shows the definition.

  3. 3

    Everyone votes

    React from 1 to 10. The rating updates with every vote.

The verdicts

Every word gets a sentence.

The average decides. No appeals.

  1. 9–10Sacred
  2. 7–8.9Blessed
  3. 5–6.9Mundane
  4. 3–4.9Sin
  5. < 3Heresy

And if everyone gives it a 10? Unanimous.

Points

Good words pay. Bad ones don't cost.

So what makes a good word?

Your server decides. It sounds great, it's funny, it's rare, it's an inside joke. There's no wrong answer.

  • Higher rating, more points. A 10 is worth 25 times a 6.
  • Every vote you give is worth 0.25. Voting counts too.
  • Few votes? The rating leans towards the server average. Two friends can't inflate it.
  • A weak word never costs points. Take the risk.

FAQ

Before you add it.

Is it free?

Yes. No ads and no paid version.

What do I need to get started?

Add Lemma, pick the channel with /setup channel:#channel (you need Manage Server) and post the first word. It takes a minute.

Does Lemma read every message?

No. It only looks at the game channel, and only if you turn on reading that channel. Off, which is the default, it only answers commands. It never stores conversations.

What data does it keep?

Words, votes and usage counts. No conversations, emails or IPs. It's all in the privacy policy.

Which words count?

Nouns, adjectives and verbs in their base form that are in the dictionary. Plurals count as the singular and each word gets in only once. More in the Guide.

Which languages does it speak?

English, checked in Wiktionary, and European Portuguese, checked in the Priberam Dictionary. Each server picks its own.

What permissions does it need?

View the channel, send messages, attach images, add reactions, read history and manage messages (to swap the word for its card). Manage roles, if you use title roles. Never Administrator.

Can I change how it looks?

Yes. Card style and size, light or dark theme, photos, the weekly recap and more, on the server setup page.

What if I remove the bot?

That server's data is deleted right away. Only one line of totals stays, with no names or user IDs.

I found a bug or have an idea.

Message @tedisntfat on Discord. Every idea gets read.
