12dicts common-word data

The Random Word Generator derives its curated list from Alan Beale’s 12dicts 6.0.2 Special/2of5core.txt. The source documentation states, “I explicitly release them to the public domain, but request acknowledgment of their use.”

ChoiceDrop splits slash variants, keeps lowercase single-word ASCII tokens, removes proper nouns and project safety exclusions, and deduplicates the result. The local list has 4,591 entries and SHA-256 48cca2832fbebb2a50483bb21211cf629d99298cfce96fdeee40b97c00ed0b6d. See the 12dicts documentation and release notice.

ENABLE 2K word data

The Word Unscrambler uses the ENABLE 2K master WORD.LST, credited to Mendel Cooper, Alan Beale and contributors. Its notice states, “The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released into the Public Domain.”

The normalized local file contains 173,528 lowercase entries and has SHA-256 2262de288ddc2b2ccfb2e46119fb25f02311af5ba1e1a77802817b76268dff99. ChoiceDrop verified it against the archived original distribution and a commit-pinned release notice.

Word-game and licensing caveats

No dictionary definitions are copied. ENABLE is a general historical English list, not a current official list for any commercial game. Inclusion does not guarantee publisher or tournament acceptance, and ChoiceDrop is not affiliated with a word-game publisher.

These are historical public-domain dedications rather than CC0 instruments; public-domain treatment can vary by jurisdiction. ChoiceDrop preserves source, version, hash, transformation and attribution details in the repository’s THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Development tools

Open-source build and test dependencies are used only during development and are not loaded by visitors. Their licence files remain available in the installed packages and package lock.
