With the release of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, the classic psychological horror experience is back with new side stories featuring Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and, of course, Monika. While there is plenty of new content to explore, one thing that remains true for the Literature Club is that players will need to pick their words wisely to win over their dream girl's heart.

Throughout your time in the Literature Club, you will be required to write poems that will then be shared with the other members. This is your main chance to impress your favorite club member but to do so; you will need to discover their personality and select the words that you feel most closely match the type of person they are.

Player selecting words in their poem writing journal in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus

When you are prompted to write poems in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus for the next Literature Club meeting, you will be brought to a journal page with several words on it. From here, you will write your poem by selecting any word on the page, after which it will have you repeat the same process on the next page until you have done this for all 20 pages.

While players can select words based on their preference, you can also rig the system to favor a specific girl.

Each word on the page is worth between 1 and 3 brownie points, which indicates how much each character favors each word. When you have selected a word that one character particularly favors, her small icon will jump up and down to indicate her approval.

To write a perfect poem for someone, 45 or more brownie points have to be earned for that specific character. This means that a character's 3-point word must be chosen for at least 15 out of 20 total choices.

How to Write a Perfect Poem For Monika in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus includes new achievements that tease a Monika route. However, like most of the game this may not be what it seems.

For Sayori, players will need to look for words with a bittersweet feeling. Her word choices aren't as brooding and intellectual as Yuri's, and they aren't as adorable as Natsuki's perfect poem words, but they often have some romantic connotations.

A good rule of thumb is to look for words one might find in an emotional romance novel. For a complete list of words Sayori enjoys, please refer to the list below:

  • Adventure, Amazing, Awesome, Alone
  • Bliss, Beauty, Bed, Broken
  • Comfort, Calm, Color, Charm, Cheer, Childhood, Clumsy, Cry
  • Dance, Dark, Daydream, Dazzle, Death, Defeat, Depression
  • Embrace, Excitement, Extraordinary, Empty
  • Family, Friends, Fireworks, Fear, Feather, Fireflies, Flower, Flying, Forgive, Fun
  • Grief
  • Happiness, Hope, Holiday, Heart, Hopeless, Hurt
  • Joy
  • Laugh, Love, Loud, Love, Lucky, Lazy
  • Marriage, Memories, Music, Misery, Misfortune
  • Nature
  • Ocean
  • Passion, Peaceful, Pain, Party, Play, Prayer, Precious, Promise
  • Rainbow, Romance, Rose, Raincloud
  • Silly, Sing, Smile, Sparkle, Special, Sunny, Sunset, Sweet, Sadness, Scars, Shame,
  • Together, Treasure, Tragedy, Tears
  • Unrequited
  • Vacation
  • Warm, Wonderful

If you're ever struggling with a poem for a specific character, the game provides a list for you in the Doki Doki Literature Club Plus files. Simply select the Files tab in-game and then the "game" folder, where you will find a file labeled "Poemwords.txt" containing a list for every character. For a visual guide, please view YouTuber EchoTango's video below.

While writing poems, many girls have overlapping favorite words, so be sure to stick to the list of your desired choice; otherwise, you may accidentally win over another girl or even write a neutral poem in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus.

Additionally, since Doki Doki Literature Club Plus has so much to offer, it's worth trying to see the outcome with every girl in the Literature Club if you can, especially with everyone's favorite girl, Monika.
