How these were picked

    Where the words come from

    The page holds its own list of 648 everyday English words: 326 nouns (things such as apple, bridge and kite), 158 verbs (actions such as climb, juggle and whisper) and 172 adjectives (describing words such as fluffy, brave and wobbly). They were chosen by hand to be common, easy to say and suitable for all ages, with US spelling. Some words, such as "paint" and "orange", appear in two kinds; in "Any word" they count once. The full list is under the generator, so you can see exactly what can come up.

    How a word is picked

    Numbers come from your browser's cryptographic random source (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source used to make encryption keys. Nothing is sent to a server, and the page cannot be steered towards any number. Each word in the chosen group has the same chance. When you ask for several words, no word appears twice in one go. A starting letter narrows the group first, so "nouns starting with b" picks fairly from those nouns only; if the group has fewer words than you asked for, you get all of them in a random order.

    Ideas for using it

    It is not for passwords: a short list of common words is easy to guess. It is also not for lotteries, raffles, prize draws or anything with legal or money consequences.
