No accounts, no tracking of what you generate, and everything runs in your browser.<\/p>\n<h2>How the tools work<\/h2>\n<p>Every generator on this site runs entirely in your browser. When you load a page, the word list loads with it. After that, generating a word makes no network request at all \u2014 you could disconnect from the internet and keep playing. Nothing you type or generate is sent anywhere or stored.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the words come from<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The 6,000-word common list<\/strong> is built from a frequency-ranked list of English words, cross-checked against a dictionary, with proper nouns, first names, surnames and abbreviations removed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Definitions<\/strong> are adapted from Webster&#8217;s 1913 dictionary, which is in the public domain. They have been shortened and cleaned, but some still read a little formally \u2014 where a definition would have been misleading, we left it out rather than guess.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Party game word lists<\/strong> are written by hand. A dictionary cannot tell you whether a word can be drawn or acted out, so those lists were built by going through them one word at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Positive words and Spanish vocabulary<\/strong> are also hand-picked, for the same reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Word scores<\/h2>\n<p>The small numbers on the letter tiles are standard English letter values used in tile-based word games. Scrabble is a registered trademark of its owner. These tools are independent and are not endorsed by or affiliated with any game publisher.<\/p>\n<h2>Found a wrong word?<\/h2>\n<p>Word lists always have errors \u2014 a word that is not really positive, a definition that reads oddly, a Pictionary word nobody could draw. If you spot one, it is worth telling us, because these lists are maintained by hand and corrections actually get made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How these word generators work, where the word lists and definitions come from, and why the party game lists are written by hand rather than pulled from a dictionary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40,"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21\/revisions\/40"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cooltextfont.com\/generator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
