The default is 5 dice, which allows for 7,776 different words per roll. While I have some debug hooks <p>
in the code so that you can run Diceware with <a href="?dice=6">6 dice per word</a> and The default is 5 dice, which allows for 7,776 different words per roll.
<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.
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.
