# word ```js // usage chance.word() chance.word({ syllables: 3 }) chance.word({ length: 5 }) ``` Return a semi-pronounceable random (nonsense) word. ```js chance.word(); => 'bappada' ``` The word is returned in all lower case. Default is a word with a random number of syllables from 1 to 3.

This length is chosen as it works out to the average word length of ~5-6 chars which seems about right.

Can optionally specify a number of syllables which the word will have. Note these are not syllables in the strict language definition of the word, but syllables as we've defined here which is 2 or 3 characters, mostly alternating between vowel and consanant. This is the about the best we can do with purely random generation. ```js chance.word({ syllables: 3 }); => 'tavnamgi' ``` Can optionally specify a length and the word will obey that bounding. ```js chance.word({ length: 5 }); => 'ralve' ``` In this case these 2 options are mutually exclusive, that is they cannot be combined as they often make no sense. It wouldn't be possible to have a word with 7 syllables and a length of 5 or a length of 30 but 2 syllables. Therefore, if both are specified, an Exception will be thrown so the Developer can handle their broken case. ```js chance.word({ length: 5, syllables: 20 }); => new RangeError("Chance: Cannot specify both syllables AND length."); ```
