Frequently asked questions
Are the words chosen at random every time?
Yes. Each draw uses the browser random number generator, and the same word can come up again in a later draw.
Why is there a limited number of words?
The generator uses a curated subset of common English words with 5 to 9 letters, sorted by topic. It is not a full dictionary.
Is it free to use?
Yes. It is free, and the words are drawn in your browser.
