If you use a dictionary, make sure you don't end up using them in alphabetical order just because you started at the beginning Wink

The first and the second sentence are more or less the same thing (assuming the process of generating and picking are both actually random and it's not too short, e.g. 10 words from a set of 5k words is going to be more than enough)), but I'm going to have to assume we both have a different definition of "randomly picking words" - your method not having much to do with randomness.

The answer to your question is very simple - it is unadvised because >99% of people are going to be picking words non-randomly, oblivious to their biases.

Everything I read suggests I use a random word generator...

Why is randomly picking words from a dictionary un advised?

Well, that is what a random word generator does. Why do you think it is unadvised?
