I used to use <a href="http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.wordlist.asc">the original wordlist</a>,
but it contained a lot of symbols, punctuation, numbers, and 2 and 3 letter words. I wanted to try a different
wordlist with longer words, no non-alphabetic characters, and words more commonly used. So I got
<a href="https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english">the 10,000 most commonly used words</a> in the
English language from <a href="https://books.google.com/ngrams/info">Google's Trillion Word Corpus</a>.
<a href="http://norvig.com/ngrams/">Peter Norvig's</a> list of <a href="http://norvig.com/ngrams/count_1w.txt"
>the 1/3rd million most frequently used words</a> and selected the 7,776 most common words between 5 and 8
characters in length.

I am always considering what words I use in the wordlist. With the current wordlist, I noticed that
some words are really long, and this could also be an issue. I may investigate using a wordlist of
shorter words in the future.
