Tinker Words

I originally wanted to call them "Thinker Toys", but there's a store of that name, so...

So the point of this is to use the cogs of tinker toys that have been labeled with words (and possibly suffixes) to build stories, poems, etc.... whatever the user wants to put together, but building them in 3d space. The user is not limited to the standard 2d plane of paper or a computer screen... anything that can be built using tinker toys can be built with tinker words.

What about 3D?!

are you asking for a picture of the prototype? I merely sketched out the idea in excel for now to see if it was viable and to make my initial presentation. My next step might not be to tinker toys since that would require spending some money, but who knows :)
