Is there a good way to generate a pseudo-random number quickly and easily in your head? (i.e., simulate a die roll, or coin toss) If I can do this it opens up a much wider range of possible pen-and-paper solitaire games
i've tried something like this based on the distribution of initial letters of words, which avoids the particular slots/word length problem

start with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency#Relative_frequencies_of_the_first_letters_of_a_word_in_the_English_language … and divide into N sets of letters with equal total frequency

(i can look up the letter sets i had for N=2,3,4,5,6 if anyone wants to know them)
