How It Works

All text is generated client-side from a 160+ word Latin vocabulary. Sentences are built by picking 8–18 random words with occasional commas:

function randomSentence() {
  const len = randInt(8, 18);
  const words = [randomWord(true)];
  for (let i = 1; i < len; i++) {
    if (i % randInt(4, 7) === 0) words.push(',');
    words.push(randomWord(false));
  }
  return words.join(' ').replace(/ ,/g, ',').replace(/,$/, '') + '.';
}

Paragraphs contain 4–7 sentences. The classic opening sentence is inserted as the first sentence when enabled.

About Lorem Ipsum

Lorem ipsum is derived from Cicero's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (45 BC). The scrambled Latin has been the industry standard placeholder since the 1500s when printers used it for type specimen books. It became widespread in the 1960s with Letraset sheets and later desktop publishing software.

Its distribution of letters and word lengths approximates natural language — making layouts look realistic without distracting readable content.
