Important limitations
Draws from an offline curated vocabulary of 138 hand-tagged English words across four parts of speech and three difficulty levels -- a small, curated list rather than a dictionary. New in-browser tools let you lock favorites and reroll the rest, generate a seeded list a class or group can reproduce from a shared link, filter by letter constraints, apply game presets, and run a Party Mode timer.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the word pool?
It is a fixed list of 138 entries, each tagged with part of speech, level and syllable count. It is a small curated list, not a dictionary, so it is unsuitable for word-game validation. "Whisper" appears twice, once as a noun and once as a verb.
What happens if I ask for more words than match?
The eligible words are shuffled once and then cycled, so once each has appeared the same sequence repeats. Twelve words from a pool of nine repeats the first three.
Why do I get "No words match these criteria"?
All filters must match at once. Adverbs with one syllable, for example, do not exist in the list because every adverb has at least two, and long letter constraints can also empty the pool.
Are the levels and syllable counts authoritative?
No. They are hand-assigned tags stored with each word. For instance "whisper" is Easy as a verb but Medium as a noun. Treat them as guidance, not linguistic fact.
Is the randomness suitable for security or fair draws?
No. It uses Math.random and a shuffle based on a random comparator, which is not uniform or cryptographic. It is fine for games and prompts, not for passphrases or raffles.
