Where do the words come from?

They are drawn from a built-in list of common, family-friendly English words that ships with the tool. Because the list is bundled in, the generator works instantly and keeps working even if you go offline.

Can I get words of a certain length or starting letter?

Yes. For example, ask for 3 long words beginning with S and you get three words of that length and letter, or a clear note if none match. You can limit the draw to short, medium or long words and pick any starting letter.

Can the same word appear twice?

By default each word in a batch is different. Turn on Allow repeats if you do want the same word to be able to come up more than once in a single draw.
