Take one line apart

Start from a song, a picture or a scene. Edit the file and the reading follows; any line can be taken apart, and each slot offers the words the rest of the file already uses. Forms, side by side shows what each change does.

Read takes the first line apart again; ⌘/Ctrl + Enter does too.
