Best Fit​

Creative explainers, lightweight brand voice, community content.

Rules​

Rule: Keep the Joke Subordinate to the Point​

Description: Humor should support comprehension, not replace it. Negative example: Paragraph of jokes with no clear takeaway. Positive example: One light line that makes the core point more memorable.

Rule: Use Surprise With Restraint​

Description: Unexpected phrasing should still preserve clarity. Negative example: Metaphor-heavy intro that hides subject and outcome. Positive example: One surprising comparison followed by direct explanation.

Rule: Protect Reader Trust​

Description: Do not exaggerate claims for comedic effect when facts matter. Negative example: "This method literally fixes every writing problem ever." Positive example: "This method is a useful default when your opening feels vague."
