Random Word
Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a random word? (Definition)
There are several possible definitions for the concept of random word. Does the random word need to exist in the dictionary? If not, should the word be pronounceable?
Word from dictionary mode: pick a common word, among the dictionary of the most frequent words.
Example: LANGUAGE, KEYBOARD, etc.
Any dictionary word mode: a word from the dictionary, including rare words or proper names. To generate complicated words, choose between 12 and 20 letters.
Example: OXYPHENBUTAZONE
Word that does not exist mode: a word that looks like a word from the dictionary but that does not exist. For funny words, choose between 6 and 10 letters. All words generated are pronounceable words.
Example: PENTILLE, BUNDLE, etc.
Random letters mode: a list of letter that forms a word but is usually unpronounceable and that does not mean anything (except a lucky draw).
Example: DYCVOBDREZ, MPCWAA, etc.
