Benchvale 2,048-word passphrase list Derived from EFF's large wordlist (CC BY 3.0 US), 7,776 words. Source file in this repository: data/eff_large_wordlist.txt Fetched from https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt The rule, applied in this order: 1. Drop any word that is not plain lowercase a-z. The EFF large list contains four hyphenated entries; they cannot appear in a list this page publishes as lowercase a-z. 2. Keep words of 4 to 6 letters inclusive (L_min=4, L_max=6). 3. Keep only the alphabetically-first word of each group sharing its first 4 letters (N=4). 4. Sort the remainder ascending. 5. Take the first 2,048. Parameters fixed at file-creation time: L_min=4, L_max=6, N=4. Resulting count: 2,048. Re-run: node scripts/derive-wordlist-2048.mjs We do not use the EFF 7,776-word list itself. 2,048 words is exactly 11 bits per word, which is what makes the arithmetic on /dev/passphrase-generator checkable by hand.
