These examples demonstrate the spoonerizing algorithm used bt the spoonerism generator on this page. But remember there aren't any hard and fast rules in word play! If it's funny, then it's a correct answer!

The basics

The easiest spoonerisms are created from two words which both begining with consonant sounds.

Example: A simple spoonerism

To spoonerize "Hello Kitty":

1. Repalace the "H" in "Hello" with the "K" from "Kitty"
2. Repalace the "K" in "Kitty" with the "H" from "Hello"

The spoonerism is "Kello Hitty".

To spoonerize phrases with more than two words, replace the begining sound of each word with the begining sound of the previous word.

Example: A three word spoonerism

To spoonerize "Red, White, Blue":

1. Repalace the "R" in "Red," with the "Bl" from "Blue"
2. Repalace the "Wh" in "White," with the "R" from "Red,"
3. Repalace the "Bl" in "Blue" with the "Wh" from "White,"

The spoonerism is "Bled, Rite, Whue".

Unspoonerable phrases

Sadly, it just isn't possible to spoonerize every phrase. Often when each word in a phrase begins with the same sound, the phrase is unspoonerable.

Example: An unspoonerable phrase

To spoonerize "Wonder Woman":

1. Repalace the "W" in "Wonder" with the "W" from "Woman"
2. Repalace the "W" in "Woman" with the "W" from "Wonder"

The spoonerism is "Wonder Woman".
