Questions
Is it really random?
Yes. It uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator (the same one used for passwords), so every result is equally likely and nobody, including us, can predict or fix it.
What is the “no hard letters” option?
It leaves out Q, U, V, X, Y and Z, which are hard to find words for in games like Name Place Animal Thing.
How many countries are in the list?
195: the 193 member states of the United Nations plus the two observer states, Palestine and Vatican City.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
