FAQ

Random Word Generator — Frequently Asked Questions

How random are the generated words?+

Words are selected using JavaScript's Math.random(), which provides cryptographically-sufficient randomness for word generation. Each click produces a statistically independent random selection from the filtered word pool, so you'll rarely see the same word twice in a row for large categories.

Can I generate words for specific school grade levels?+

Yes — use the word length filter. Elementary school words are typically 3–6 letters; middle school 5–9 letters; high school and above 8–15 letters. Combined with category filters (like "adjectives" or "nature"), you can generate grade-appropriate vocabulary lists quickly.

Can I use the words directly in the Word Search Generator?+

Yes! After generating your word list, click the "→ Word Search" button. This stores your words in the browser's session and automatically populates the Word Search Generator's word list input — taking you directly from word generation to puzzle creation.

How many words can I generate at once?+

The slider goes up to 50 words per generation. For bulk word lists, you can generate multiple batches and copy-paste them together. There's no daily limit — generate as many times as you like.

Does the generator work with the 450K word dictionary?+

Yes! If you have the words.txt file loaded (the 450K dictionary from the main solver), the random word generator draws from that full database. Without it, it uses a built-in curated word list of ~2,000 common English words per category.
