Which set of words is random? (Round 2)

ALL

I used an online random word generator to generate 25 random words. I used the first set of words I generated.

I then came up with 25 words on my own, after seeing the first set of words. I did not use any randomized method for selecting my set of words.

I used an online coin flip to assign the order of the two sets of words.

Bet for the set of words that you believe to be the RANDOM set. If you think the "YES" set of words is randomly generated, bet "YES", if you think the "NO" set of words is randomly generated, bet "NO".

I will obviously not bet in this market. I took a picture of the random word generator that will have a time stamp on my iphone.

I will release the first 5 words from each set at the start, and after ~48 hours, I will release an additional 5 words, and continue to do so every day or so until all 25 are released. Then, ~24 hours before market close, I will release the website I used to generate the random word list.

EDIT/UPDATE:

The dictionary used to generate the random words was the "ENGLISH Simplistic (Very Usual Words Only)" dictionary from https://www.dcode.fr/random-word#q1

Impressed that people mostly figured it out before the word list was given, not sure how y'all did that. Disappointed at myself for not realizing that "oilers" was on the word list but "oiler" wasn't. That's silly and was a giveaway. Next round will be trickier!

predicted NO

I was basing my bets on this table. I assigned a probability to each word to be in a dictionary a website would use based on intuition. Then multiplied all probabilities for each set.

predicted NO

But it seems I was just lucky. For example, "chauffeur" and "seventh" to which I assigned low probabilities, are both in the dictionary.

Oiler is not in the Very Usual dictionary.

predicted NO

@Shump Isn't the dictionary private?

predicted NO

@roma Benjamin stated which dictionary it is. That website has a word search tool which allows you to check

predicted NO

@Shump Ah, didn't know about word search

So silent in the comments!?

predicted NO

@BenjaminShindel You right now

Check the updated description for the website and dictionary used for the random word set.

Tonight I’ll edit the description to show what website / dictionary I used to generate the randomized word list.

Final set of words dropping asap!

New words dropping now! There shall be 20.

My code is extremely confident it knows the correct answer, but I'm not infinitely confident in my code.

There are now 15 words in each set. Enjoy!

Next update will be posted shortly!

There are now 10 words in each set. Another 5 this evening, since I'm slightly behind schedule.

Going to post the next set of five words in a few hours! (was gonna do it now, but the excel file with the word lists is on my desktop at home)

predicted YES

@BenjaminShindel Ping
