I assume the amount of entropy is what really matters. for instance,
if on every next step you are free to choose any of 4 random words
taken from 60000-word dictionary, you may put it in a grammatically
correct form[*], then you must get a certain entropy per step.

* Depending on the language, there may be more than one correct form
(past, future, plural, first or second person, modified with
a preposition...), but this randomness is hard to ensure.
