What the Word List Contains
The generator ships with 2,087 common English words baked into this page, each between 3 and 10 letters and tagged by part of speech. No two words in a single draw repeat, and the filters combine, so "adjectives starting with s, at most 6 letters" works exactly as you'd expect.
| Word type | Count |
|---|---|
| Nouns | 1,145 |
| Verbs | 495 |
| Adjectives | 447 |
| Total | 2,087 |
Where random words help
Charades, Pictionary and Codenames-style clue giving all need a neutral referee handing out words. So do writing prompts, naming brainstorms, vocabulary drills, improv scenes and memory-palace practice. Set the type filter to nouns for guessing games; adjectives make better story sparks.
Every draw is unbiased. The FAQ covers how the randomness works, and the list picker does the same job for lists you bring yourself.
