Our Word Library, Measured
Every count below is recomputed from our own files, with the audits that shaped them.
Every figure on this page was recomputed by script on October 4, 2026 from the same /words/*.json files the generator reads, and every audit below is measured against our own dated backup of the library it changed. Nothing here is a rounded marketing number.
Entries per library
/words/*.json. Three general libraries carry about a thousand entries each; themed libraries run 200–300.Why there are two totals
7,958 entries sit in 24 libraries, but only 6,964 are distinct prompts. The difference is 994 rows (731 prompts) filed in a second library on purpose: a word such as Cat belongs in Animals and in the kids list, so it is counted once per library and once overall. When this site advertises 7,000+ words it means the 7,958 entries the generator can draw from, rounded down; counted as unique prompts the same library holds 6,964, which is the stricter figure we use here.
Audits on record
| Date | What the pass did | Out (whole file) | In (whole file) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-20 | Movies tier rewritten in the two general libraries. Every famous film title left the category: all 101 rows in the easy Movies category (98 distinct titles) and 100 of 101 in medium (98 titles, 1 kept). Out and In below count whole library files. | 96 + 97 | 102 + 100 |
| 2026-09-20 | Brand-name sweep, one-for-one: 29 entries replaced across 9 libraries (kids (8), funny (7), office (3), bridal shower (1), easter (1), sports (1), charades for kids (1), easy (1), adults (6)). | 29 | 29 |
| 2026-09-27 | Adults library converged onto safe humor: party-shock prompts, finance acronyms and therapy vocabulary removed, everyday adult awkwardness written in their place. | 64 | 66 |
| 2026-09-30 | Published word counts re-verified against each library file. One overstated figure (charades “240+”) corrected to the exact 220. No words changed. | 0 | 0 |
The method behind these passes — what a word has to fail to be removed — is published on the editorial change log. Spotted a prompt that does not belong in a list? Tell us: we re-audit that library and publish what moved.
For scale, the longest prompt we publish is “Trying to Leave a Conversation Gracefully While Both Feet Point at the Exit” at 75 characters — the kind of idiom the Hard tier exists for. The shortest are single shapes such as Cat, Sun and Tree, which is why 45.2% of the library is one word.
