Word List Reference 2026
How many words are in the generator, exactly?
RandomWordGeneratorTool's built-in word pool has 120 entries in its source code, but only 119 of them are unique: the word "yellow" is listed twice. Of the 119 unique words, lengths run from 4 to 9 letters, averaging 5.6 letters, and every letter of the alphabet is represented at least three times as a starting letter.
This page counts the tool's own data. We did not sample the output or estimate: we read the WORDS array in the site's live JavaScript on July 2, 2026, and tallied every entry programmatically. That is also why the duplicate shows up here and nowhere else on the site: a real count surfaces it, an invented one would not.

Words by size class
Grouping the exact lengths into three practical bands (short 4-5 letters, medium 6-7, long 8-9) shows the pool leans toward medium-length words, which keeps generated batches easy to read aloud in games like Pictionary or Taboo.
| Size class | Count | Share of 120 |
|---|---|---|
| Short (4-5 letters) | 47 | 39.2% |
| Medium (6-7 letters) | 69 | 57.5% |
| Long (8-9 letters) | 4 | 3.3% |
Words by starting letter
| Letter | Count | Letter | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4 | N | 5 |
| B | 5 | O | 5 |
| C | 5 | P | 5 |
| D | 5 | Q | 3 |
| E | 4 | R | 5 |
| F | 5 | S | 5 |
| G | 5 | T | 5 |
| H | 5 | U | 4 |
| I | 5 | V | 5 |
| J | 5 | W | 5 |

Every entry counts once here, including the duplicate "yellow," so the letter counts sum to 120, not 119.
Methodology
The numbers on this page come directly from the tool's own source, not from an outside estimate. We opened the live WORDS array embedded in RandomWordGeneratorTool's homepage JavaScript, parsed it programmatically, and counted every entry by exact character length and by first letter on July 2, 2026. This is the same array the Generate button samples from in your browser, so the counts match exactly what the tool can produce. Because the pool is fixed in the site's code rather than pulled from a live database, this page will only need updating if the word list itself changes; we will move the "Updated" date above whenever that happens.
