Customizable English Word Generator

This generator is primarily intended for teachers and also for parents. For each use, it allows you to find 100 words, or fewer, chosen randomly. The words chosen are English words selected according to criteria (difficulty level, starting letter(s), letter(s) contained, or termination). For each draw, a new list is created. The database contains a variety of words that a student may encounter during their early years of learning.

Simply choose the parameters and then click "Generate". The generated words can be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking the "Download" button.

Composition of the downloadable word list

This is a list of English words adapted to the school levels of the early years of studying the English language. It consists of over 18,000 words. The words include infinitive and conjugated verbs, singular and plural adjectives. In fact, for one adjective, you can find all its forms, and for another, you may find only one form. The list contains English words in the form they are used in school.

Important Note: The list is not exhaustive of all words and is not a list taken from a dictionary. Indeed, several "adult" words are absent such as: sexy, sexuality, rape, inflation, recession, menstruation, hormone, Christianity, Islam, Jesus, etc.

Nature of the generated words

This application allows randomly drawing 100 words. If a search yields 800 results, then it's highly likely that the list generated after the second draw will be different from the first list, even if the same criteria are used. The limit of 100 has been set for technical reasons only.
