Random words are repeating

Question

Hello,

This request is bringing back the same words repeatedly

https://wordsapiv1.p.mashape.com/words/?frequencyMin=6.73&frequencyMax=8.02&partofspeech=noun&letterPattern=^[a-zA-Z]{3,12}$&random=true

For instance, here are the words it brought back in sequence. In 11 calls  "the" was repeated twice,  "for" was also repeated twice and "what" was also repeated twice. This doesn't seem random. How can I get better random words?

Here are the words in sequence:
the
for
that
for
not
and
you
what
are
what
the

You can find the number of potential words by removing the random=true parameter. If that's not there, you'll get a JSON object containing a results.total attribute.

Hi softsafari,
There are only 13 words that meet your criteria, so it makes sense that words would be repeated if you call that endpoint multiple times.
