Consonant Cluster Finder
Find the consonant clusters in a text — runs of consonants with no vowel between them.
Spotting the consonant runs
A consonant cluster is a sequence of consonants together without a vowel, like the str in strong or the ngths in strengths. This finds those runs in your text, which is a genuinely useful bit of linguistic analysis for language learners, teachers, poets, and anyone playing with the sound and structure of words.
Paste the text and the consonant clusters are picked out.
Why clusters are interesting
Consonant clusters are where a lot of pronunciation difficulty lives — they are exactly the parts that trip up language learners and make some words hard to say, and English has some famously dense ones. They matter for teaching phonics, for constructing pronounceable made-up names and words, and for poets thinking about how a line sounds. Finding them turns an intuition about a word's chewiness into something you can actually see.
