The generated "using it in a sentence" examples are often the funniest (and most absurd) part:

  chokebone
  choke·bone
  the muscle holding a prisoner down, used in controlling an animal or person such as a cat, dog, snake, snakebite, or spider
  "he managed to regain the chokebone and win the auction for his 12-year-old daughter"

probably a lot of these in there: words with an edit distance of 1 from a real word where the "fake word" is too close to be interesting. one I found was "subdivison", which I thought just said "subdivision": https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/uYDQ

also "jocky", which sure doesn't literally exist but it's hard to argue that it's meaningfully dissimilar to "jockey": (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/J8RS) anyway this is pretty fun all the same.

in another episode of "algorithms doing a racism" I landed "cacadian", whose definition is "a black person" (we're ok so far) but the example sentence was "I'm the worst cacadian up here", which... https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/iTVc

"nondestructable" (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/bBD3) is given the definition "of negligible quality or severity" but definitely gets used (spelled nondestructible) to mean "a thing that can't be destroyed" when talking about games with destructible environments

"downcycled" is definitely a word (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/JRd8)

innocuous ones I liked include unclary (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/ibNn), saucescent (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/4VTH), nonboreal (https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/eCqw).

I think it's pretty fun.

adjective. unprestigious un·pres·ti·gious (of a person) strong, imposing, or impressive "an unprestigious figure during his lifetime"``` ( https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/u749 ) Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

One would think that about inflammable too

Or unhulled
