How can I get a random word?

Although this isn't currently a feature of our API, there is a way to retrieve a random word.
You could randomly select an offset value for the wordlist and limit the output to one result, which would effectively be the same as a random word selection.
If a random word feature would be useful to you, please contact us to let us know. It may be something that we can consider for future development.
Please note that you would need to specify a filter before you do so, and that each call to the wordlist endpoint equates to 500 requests.

Isn't it ridiculous to get a random word by spending 500 calls?
