!! Challenge : inventing words !!

Question

Write a code able to create a word everytime you run it. The word can have random length from 2 to 10 characters, but with higher probability to be of average length (gaussian curve centered on 6).
The word must be readable (english-like) and you have to create some basic rules to make it happen ... Enjoy !

My code for random string, but how to do it that the word be readable?

If I got that 6 part correct...

Answer 3

You can't get an english like word though.
Because there is no Python english dictionary

Answer 4

Tough to get that 6....

Answer 5

@Gordie
Amazing job !
Thank you so much !

I changed the feeding text with some french short story (maupassant) and it does work also, producing french-like words !

Here it is :

The only sad thing about it : I don't know Ruby, I am a beginner and only learned Python basics on sololearn so far.

Answer 6

@Vengat
Thanks for your code.
There is no need for an english dictionnary, maybe my explanation was not clear enough : The goal is to produce unexisting words, but words that can be pronounced with the english style.
For example :
- "gptyiuoffr" is not really something you can pronounce it does not look like an english word
- "wonep, parly, witock, atilened" are words produced with Gordie's code. If they exist I don't know them, but they look like english and they can be pronounced easily with the english pronunciation rules !
A simple idea could be to make a rule unabling the generator to write more than two consecutive vowels, and the same for consonants
The method you used to give a bigger probability to 6 letters words is very simple and could be closer to a gaussian curve if you would write something like :
[2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,10]
Keep on coding !

Answer 7

Very Easy...

@Bykah
Nice !
Thanks.
I don't know Css, but I got the idea.
one first simple step to make it more readable would be to allow only 2 consecutive vowels or consonants.
Then, there is the Markov method, as Gordie showed us in his ruby code. This method sets a probability for each letter to follow a first letter. The probabilities are taken from an existing text.
