Frequently asked questions
What can I use random words for?
Party games (charades, Pictionary, 20 questions), writing prompts and story seeds, naming things (projects, teams, pets), memory-training exercises, and brainstorming — a random word forces a new angle better than staring at a blank page.
Do random words make good passphrases?
Four or five random words beat a short "complex" password — but for real credentials use our password generator, which draws from a much larger wordlist with cryptographic randomness.
How random is it?
Words are picked with crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic generator, from a curated list of ~360 common English words — so no word is more likely than another.
