What does "Lorem Ipsum" mean?

It doesn't actually mean anything — it's deliberately nonsensical text derived from a scrambled/altered passage of a work by the Latin author Cicero.

Why is Lorem Ipsum used instead of real text?

Being meaningless keeps the reader's/designer's attention on the visual elements of the design (typeface, spacing, layout) rather than the content's meaning.

What's the difference between the words, sentences, and paragraphs options?

These options determine the unit of text to generate — for example, you might choose "words" for a short button label, or "paragraphs" for an article preview.

What does the classic opening sentence option do?

When checked, the text always starts with the familiar "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit." sentence, the most recognizable form of Lorem Ipsum.
