I started off using <a href="http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.wordlist.asc">the original wordlist</a>,
353-
but it contained a lot of symbols, punctuation, numbers, and 2 and 3 letter words. I wanted to try a different
354-
wordlist with longer words, no non-alphabetic characters, and words more commonly used. So then I tried

but it contained a lot of symbols, punctuation, numbers, and 2 and 3 letter words that felt made

the passwords it generated <em>more</em> difficult to remember.

<h3>FAQ: How many dice are rolled per word?</h3>

The default is 5 dice, which allows for 7,776 different words per roll. While I have some debug hooks
362-
in the code so that you can run Diceware with <a href="?dice=6">6 dice per word</a> and
363-
<a href="?dice=7">7 dice per word</a> (for 46,655 and 279,935 possible words, respectively), the words
364-
used become more obscure, which makes them more difficult to remember, so I'm not entirely sure that is a good thing.

But for now, the functionality is there, if there is a desire for it.

363+
I used to have functionality for 6 and 7 dice per word, that involved longer wordlists
364+
and the words became increasingly obscure. I decided to remove that functionality because
365+
I felt it made the product harder to use and <em>less</em> accessible to the typical user.
