Thanks so much for pointing me to that. If I had an always-air-gapped ORWL, I'd probably put a generator on it to be able to quickly generate them; I generate an absurd number of accounts each week, since I don't tie into SSO offers over public sites.
Only concern I need to solve for is sifting these lists for confusing words like homophones that are difficult to clearly say the words over an audio-only connection. This drives down the convenience and increases the time to call out the passphrase, since I then revert to the phonetic alphabet. Unfortunately, I've only found various lists [1], but not something that grabs the list, looks up the ExtIPA pronunciation [2] for each word, then applies rules to rank the clarity of each word when spoken over the phone.
That last part is where I am stumbling. I can't find the rules that govern what we know about clarity over telephone links, though AT&T must have has studied this at some point. I can come close, with this article [3] about factors that explain why the sounds “f”, “th”, and “s” are difficult for hearing-impaired to hear. Ideally, a ranking of not just individual words in a selected Diceware list, but also ranking of the clarity of a selected passphrase as well, would come out of such a systematic categorization.
