While playing through Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, players will have the chance to impress one of the girls with a perfect poem, including Yuri, the most melancholy of the group. However, writing perfect poems isn't as easy as it sounds, as you will need to understand and cater to the personality of the girl you're hoping to impress.
For example, Yuri is the quiet yet ionate bookworm of the Literature Club. So, if you want to spend extra time with her and play her new side stories, select words and write poems that cater to her interests. Note, however, that because the girls have such different personalities, impressing one will likely mean another is not a fan of your poem.
How To Write A Perfect Poem for Yuri
Choose Words That Are Dark And Serious
When it comes to writing poems for the club, you won't need to come up with anything yourself. Instead, the game will give several pages of lists that include various words you'll need to choose from for the poem. Picking words for a poem for Yuri is generally easy, as her words tend to be stronger or darker in tone compared to the poem for Natsuki or Sayori.

How to Write Neutral Poems in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus
In the pursuit of love, others are likely to be spurned. However, players can let the girls down gently and stay friends via safe unmemorable poems.
Therefore, all you need to do is pick the more serious words instead of those happy and cheerful. You'll know you've selected correctly if Yuri's little avatar sticker hops as you select words. However, if you need a little help, here are all the words Yuri favors in the game:

How To Find Every Girl's Favorite Words
Search The Game Files To Find A Cheat Sheet
If you'd like to know how to impress the other girls, you can find a cheat sheet of their favorite words by searching the game file. Once you open Doki Doki Literature Club Plus' game files, open the “game” folder, then open the text file called “poemwords.txt,” where you will then be able to see a list of Sayori’s, Natsuki’s, and Yuri’s favorite poem words.
Using these words will allow you to make poems tailored to any girl you choose. However, note that Monika's favorite poem is unique and tied to the plot, so you will need to be patient before you have a chance to impress her.
Writing a poem exclusively with words that Yuri likes will earn the achievement “Perfect! Yuri”. You can follow the same steps you took here with Yuri and the other girls in the club to achieve similar achievements.
