How the random word is selected
The tool filters the 7,776-entry EFF long word list by your minimum and maximum length, then uses the browser’s cryptographic random-number generator to select uniformly from the remaining entries.
How much entropy does one word provide?
The answer depends on the number of eligible words. The result panel reports log₂ of the filtered pool size. Narrower length ranges usually reduce the pool and therefore reduce the selection’s entropy.
Capitalization does not add entropy here
Lowercase and title case are deterministic formatting options selected by you. Because capitalization is not chosen randomly, it is not counted as additional strength.
Can one word be used as a password?
Some systems or low-risk workflows may require a single-word value, and this tool provides one directly. For valuable accounts, one dictionary word is vulnerable to word-list guessing even when the selection is random. Prefer multiple random words or a password-manager-generated character password when the system permits it.
Hyphenated entries
The EFF list includes some hyphenated dictionary entries. Each is still one independently selected list entry and is treated as one word by this generator.
