Result would look like this (only better): "The tordon loppied the brondy greal." It worked in English, French and a few other languages. Anybody knows where I could find this? Thanks, Toad.

E is most common vowel, its rare to strings of considents longer than 3. (some compound words have 5 or even 6, (ghtsbr is the classic 'stumper' --its the middle of knightsbridge)) you codify all the 'rules (and let the generater work, and you get "fake english' change the rules, and you get fake latin or fake french or fake spanish. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Automatic word generation olly #168266 05/17/2007 5:54 AM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague BranShea Carpal Tunnel BranShea Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague Yes? misteddyhood Where have all the Teds gone?
