According to recent studies, the average adult native English speaker knows between 20,000 and 35,000 words

I mean sure it might still work, but would make more sense to grasp for some trickier words, like fantasy character names etc.

The thing is to have a program randomly select the words for you. That way the words are not related between them, and you aren't limited by only the words you know.
