Word lists

Several common word lists are bundled with the application for the purpose of generating word-based passwords.

Word list	Words	Description
BIP-39 English	2,048	Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) introduced in 2013 that standardizes the creation of mnemonic seed phrases. See BIP-39 wordlists.
Diceware	7,776	Classic Diceware list.
Diceware Beale	7,776	Fewer Americanisms and obscure words than classic Diceware.
Diceware German	7,776	German-language Diceware list.
Diceware Russian	7,776	Russian-language Diceware list.
EFF	7,776	EFF long word list.
EFF Easy Long	1,296	EFF list of common, unambiguous English words (longer words).
EFF Easy Short	1,296	EFF list of common, unambiguous English words (shorter words).
Chinese Pinyin	7,776	Words from the Lexicon of Common Words in Contemporary Chinese, transliterated to the English alphabet using Pinyin (3–6 letters per word).
Chinese Wubi	7,776	Two-character words from the same lexicon, encoded using Wubi — each word is exactly 4 letters.
Orchard Street Long	17,576	Orchard Street Wordlists are a collection of English word lists designed for generating strong, secure passphrases. The words are primarily sourced from Google Books Ngram data and Wikipedia, filtered to exclude profanity, abbreviations, and British spellings, and processed using Schlinkert pruning to ensure they are uniquely decodable (allowing passphrases without delimiters).
Orchard Street Medium	8,192	A smaller set than the long version, with shorter maximum word length.

Larger word lists increase the total number of possible combinations for a given word count, which improves strength. In contrast, EFF Easy Short and EFF Easy Long are smaller sets but also the easiest — they use familiar English words chosen to minimize confusion between similar-sounding entries.

A word list file must be UTF-8 encoded with a .wordlist extension, one word per line. Lines beginning with ### are treated as comments and skipped.
