@ -350,20 +350,20 @@ For rolls of 5 dice, I am now using <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/
<p>
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>.
but it contained a lot of symbols, punctuation, numbers, and 2 and 3 letter words that felt made
the passwords it generated <em>more</em> difficult to remember.

<h3>FAQ: How many dice are rolled per word?</h3>
The default is 5 dice, which allows for 7,776 different words per roll. While I have some debug hooks
in the code so that you can run Diceware with <a href="?dice=6">6 dice per word</a> and
<a href="?dice=7">7 dice per word</a> (for 46,655 and 279,935 possible words, respectively), the words
used become more obscure, which makes them more difficult to remember, so I'm not entirely sure that is a good thing.
But for now, the functionality is there, if there is a desire for it.

The default is 5 dice, which allows for 7,776 different words per roll.
I used to have functionality for 6 and 7 dice per word, that involved longer wordlists
and the words became increasingly obscure. I decided to remove that functionality because
I felt it made the product harder to use and <em>less</em> accessible to the typical user.
