<h3>FAQ: Can you tell me more about the list of words?</h3>
<p>
For rolls of 5 dice, I am now using <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases"
>the worldlist from the EFF</a>. <a href="https://github.com/dmuth/diceware/issues/30">Substantial enhancements</a> have been made over the original list
designed to improve usability without compromising security.

I started off using <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 then I tried
<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>. Peter Norvig's list is still in use for when 6 or 7 dice are rolled.
