Tag Generation Algorithm
Cute Tags uses two complementary methods:

* Tutorial patterns: “…tutorial”, “…guide”, “…for beginners”
* Comparison patterns: “best…”, “…review”, “…vs”
* Tips & tricks: “…tips”, “…tricks”, “…hacks”
* Problem-solving: “…problems”, “…solutions”, “…fix”
Phrase Combinations (Secondary):
* Individual meaningful words
* 2-word combinations
* 3-word combinations
Stop Words Filtering
The plugin automatically filters out common words that don’t add value:
* Articles (the, a, an)
* Conjunctions (and, or, but)
* Prepositions (in, on, at, to, for)
* Common verbs and modals
