Words chosen using the following rules:
1. Simple and common italian words.
2. Length between 4 and 8 characters.
3. First 4 letters must be unique between all words.
4. No accents or special characters.
5. No complex verb forms.
6. No plural words.
7. No words that remind negative/sad/bad things.
8. If both female/male words are available, choose male version.
9. No words with double vocals (like: lineetta).
10. No words already used in other language mnemonic sets.
11. If 3 of the first 4 letters are already used in the same sequence in another mnemonic word, there must be at least other 3 different letters.
12. If 3 of the first 4 letters are already used in the same sequence in another mnemonic word, there not must be the same sequence of 3 or more letters.
Rules 11 and 12 prevent the selection words that are not different enough. This makes each word more recognizable among others and less error prone. For example: the wordlist contains "atono", then "atomo" is rejected, but "atomico" is good.
All the words have been manually selected and automatically checked against the rules.
