The final word is a checksum that you need a computer, typically a signing device ("hardware wallet") to generate.
What I mean is ...
Can't the site be a bit more forgiving and simply help out the noobs and say something to the effect of:
"Each ball corresponds to one of the 2048 seed words from BIP-39, which is used with any wallet or cold storage device that supports BIP-39."
(or whatever the procedures are to go from shaking this thing to sleeping peacefully because your keys were generated with a exceptional randomness).
I.e., ELI5

Yeah, I agree it is worth adding an ELI5 section... tbh, I just did this because I thought it was neat and made the website in a few hours. Not expecting anyone to get this who doesn't have a pretty good understanding of what it is, but since I've only sold 2 so far, and I do want to recoup mfg costs, I'll probably get around to it.
