Hi @Elsss 🙂

To find out which keywords we accept vs. don't accept, please click or tap on the word "Guidelines" at the bottom right of the screen.
Scroll down to the section that says "Patterns"
Then within that section, there are two paragraphs that explain which keywords we don't accept vs keywords we do accept.

To save you some time, I've copied and pasted this segment that is written in the guidelines:

Not acceptable keywords:
- usernames
- pattern numbers
- number of strings, colors
- broad color names (like red, purple, dark, light, bright, pastel)
- sizes (like big, small, tiny, large, skinny)
- not applicable keywords (like diamond if the pattern doesn't have any diamond shapes)

Acceptable keywords:
- shapes (like diamond, square, triangle, rectangle, flower, star, zigzag, wavy, squiggle, dash, dot, stripes, holes, gaps)
- style (like tribal, celtic, aztec, boho, geometric, nordic, colorblocking, outlined aesthetic)
- technique (like straight edge, 1212, shaped, holes, gaps)
- specific color scheme terms (like rainbow, gradient, ombre)
- symmetrical / asymmetrical
- other specific and general terms describing content relevant to a pattern (specific breed of dogs like corgi and general words like puppy)
- logo (only for official logos)
- font (only for complete alphabet patterns)
- word, text, letter, phrase (for patterns not containing the full alphabet)
- keychain, bookmark, wallhanging (only for alpha patterns)
- repeating (only for alpha patterns, since all normal patterns naturally repeat)
- different forms of words (past, present, plural, singular)

You can also use the "review notes" upon submitting your pattern if you would directly like help with choosing appropriate keywords. 🙂

I just wanted to update my answer to this post because after a discussion we had, the mods and Admin and I have just updated the guidelines and made some changes to acceptable vs. Not acceptable keywords. 🙂

Two more sentences have been added to Not Acceptable:

- difficulty levels (like simple, easy, beginner, hard, difficult, advanced)
- keywords that can apply to any pattern (like aesthetic, beautiful, awesome, amazing, cute, pixelart, pixel, color)

Again, if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to reach out 🙂
