Choose a Word Type
The generator can draw from all available words or limit results to one part of speech. A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea; a verb expresses an action or state; an adjective describes a noun; and an adverb commonly describes how, when, or where an action happens. The word type is shown with each result when you choose Any word.
Filter by Length or Starting Letter
Use the word-length menu to get shorter or longer words. To choose a first letter, enter one English letter in Starting letter. You can combine these filters with a word type. If the selected filters leave too few matches for the requested number, the tool returns the available matches and tells you how many it found.
Generate Words Without Duplicates
Do not repeat words in this result is selected by default, so a word appears no more than once in a single batch. Turn it off when repeated words are acceptable. A later batch can include a word you saw before; the setting only applies to the current result.
Ways to Use Random Words
Random words can give a writing prompt a starting point, add a vocabulary round to a classroom activity, or provide a quick word for games such as charades. For a writing exercise, generate a noun, verb, and adjective and use all three in a sentence. You can also use a random word as a brainstorming cue when you are looking for a new angle.
If you are making a list or draft from your results, the Word Counter can count the text, and the Duplicate Word Finder can help spot repeated words. You can also try the Random Letter Generator for letter-based games and prompts.
