What is a random word generator?
A random word generator is a tool that picks words by chance from a list. Each word has the same chance of being picked.
People use random words for word games, drawing games, writing prompts, vocabulary practice, naming ideas and for test data.
Features
- 1 to 100 words at a time.
- Four types: any, nouns, verbs or adjectives.
- No repeats inside one result.
- Three layouts: one per line, with commas or with spaces.
- Copy, select or download the words as a .txt file.
The word list
The words come from our own list of 542 common English words. They are everyday words that most learners know.
| Type | Words in the list | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Nouns | 247 | apple, bridge, river |
| Verbs | 166 | build, laugh, travel |
| Adjectives | 136 | brave, quiet, yellow |
| Any | 542 | All three types together |
Some words, such as dream and watch, are both a noun and a verb. They are in both lists and are counted once in the total.
Limits
- English only, and common words only. The list has no rare, technical or offensive words.
- Base forms only. Nouns are singular and verbs are in their basic form.
- Not for passwords. The list is short and public, and the tool uses the normal random function of the browser, so the words are not safe as a password.
Related tools
Three other tools on this site work with generated text. The Lorem Ipsum generator makes placeholder paragraphs. The sort text tool puts a list of words in order. The text repeater repeats a word as many times as you need.
Is it private?
Yes. The words are picked inside your browser. Nothing is sent to our server.
