It is certain that the mere act of inditing tends, in a great degree, to the logicalisation of thought. Whenever, on account of its vagueness, I am dissatisfied with a conception of the brain, I resort forthwith to the pen, for the purpose of obtaining, through its aid, the necessary form, consequence, and precision.
1844, Edgar Allen Poe, Marginalia

Use These Words

One of my favorite word games is Wordscapes by PeopleFun. All of the words for a given level are from a common set of three to seven letters. Some of the words, when combined, were pretty funny and I thought they'd go great in a story.

So, I created this page to do something similar. A random set of letters are picked, as well as a maximum word length. Then, up to ten words (with a minumum of five) are selected and displayed.

Here is a list of words to use in a story.
arty
award
dart
draw
ratty
tardy
tawdry
tray
wad
ward
