This is a placeholder to discuss possible wordlist improvements. This may include things like:

• Curating wordlists. Is it worth doing this? Ideas could be to remove words greater than xxx characters, for example. This would obviously reduce entropy.
• Add additional wordlists. Can we get better sounding phrases with other parts of speech? Are there big enough wordlists for anything to do this properly?
• Verb tenses. Should we be using more tenses, or other tenses that what we are currently using?

If you come across this issue and have ideas, please share. Thanks!

The existing formats may not be ideal. I came up with the quickly to get something working.

Probably lengths 2-4 are fine, but the others could use reviews and suggestions.

The formats are defined here.

The tool actually supports multiple formats per length, if there are multiple that make sense. Using more than one format for a given length would also increase the entropy, and the entropy calculation would need to be tweaked.

I've stuck with 1 format per length for now, for simplicity.

The tools needs a format defined for 8-word phrases. This gets defined in fmt_options here.
