because i'm somehow compelled to golf such things (like unnecessary use of cat):

    egrep '^[[:alpha:]]{6}$' /usr/share/dict/words | shuf -n 1 | tr A-Z a-z

Yep, that's elegant. It's so easy to write bad bash scripts that I do it all the time. So much to learn on my end.

Thanks for your post btw, I did not know about this tool `shuf`. My equivalent involves `sort -r | head -1`
