Doki Doki Literature Club Plus | Poem Words Guide, Each Character’s Favorite Words

As you play through Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, you’ll come across moments in the game where you’re tasked with writing a poem. As you’re selecting words for the poem, you may notice that stickers representing the game’s characters like Yuri and and Natsuki will jump up and down after you select a particular word.

If you’re wondering why this is, or you’re wondering what words to pick to impress your favorite character, here’s what you need to know! 

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus | Poem Words Guide, Each Character’s Favorite Words

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus gives you the ability to express your creativity in the form of a poem. However, the poem you write will need to use words out of a lineup that’s provided to you, and there are some odd word choices included in these lineups that may cause you to raise an eyebrow.

When you select certain words, the stickers representing the game’s characters may jump up and down, letting you know they liked the word you chose. The reason for this is that writing poems is a great way to gain favor with a particular character, and each of the game’s characters have their own preferred batch of words. 

Each word you choose is worth between 1 and 3 points with 3 points being the highest and the best option to choose when it comes to gaining favor with a particular character. Additionally, every word you choose will put at least 1 point in towards all of the characters.

In order for a girl to be favored, you’ll need 45 or more points towards that character by the end of the poem which is why it’s important to select the options that are worth the max of 3 points, or if none of those are available, selecting something worth 2 points rather than just 1. 

If you’re wondering what the best words are to choose in order to impress your favorite characters, we’ve got you covered with the full list of each character’s preferred word choices below (each word listed below is worth 3 points)!
