minus-squarekevincox@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·16 days ago select a set of words from the list I would be very careful doing this. It is very easy to introduce significant bias. Humans are terrible at picking random numbers. If you can’t find dice I would recommend: Having a computer pick random items for you. Renumber the list into binary and flip a coin 12 times for each word. (This results in a slightly shorter word list but should be string enough).

A big weakness in the one time pads from WW2 was the word callers putting words back they thought were too frequent :)
