2. Ten attempts are made to satisfy the given length requirements by default;
use `-a N` and set `N` to the number of attempts to increase chances.
It will exit with an error if unable to satisfy requirements; some
configurations will always produce an error.
3. Extended words are only available in exclusively extended word kinds by
default; however, with `-e`, they are merged with regular word kinds; use
with the `-L` option to see its effect.

Notes
-
WordKind /
{sub} -
It is only necessary to set the most descriptive
WordKind(s) since they are automatically included in the larger word kinds. -
The
charactersobject value must contain theC,c, anddkeys with non-empty values. Additional keys/values can be added and used. -
{sub}s produce lowercase words by default, but if prefixed withW:orT:words will be uppercase or title case, respectively: i.e.{W:sub}or{T:sub}(replacesubwith an actual{sub}name above). -
{sub}s include all words by default, but if suffixed with:NwhereNis a number, it will only include words with that number of syllables: i.e.{sub:N}(replacesubwith an actual{sub}name above andNwith the desired number of syllables ~1-5).
Please find the CHANGELOG.md in the repository.
