Wow, I love this! It is such a great application of S2, which is an awesome concept itself. A drilldown of the words would be a neat way to explore the mapping. In other words: first you see the largest areas, and you can click on them, then you see areas/words within that area, and as you drill down you form the wherewords location.

You're right that would be cool. I haven't done anything on it since the beginning of the year.
There is a small easter egg though - wherewords.id works with fewer than the four words, so for example, if you go to https://wherewords.id/system/festival/ you'll see it highlight a particular part of New York City, while https://wherewords.id/system covers a big part of New York State and Pennsylvania.
