It is proved that for any finitely generated group \(G\) there exists a length function (in the sense of \textit{R. C. Lyndon} [Math. Scand. 12, 209-234 (1964; Zbl 0119.264)]) with values in a finitely generated group \(\Lambda\) for which \(G\) is a \(\Lambda\)-free group (in the sense of \textit{H. Bass} [Arboreal Group theory 1988, Publ., Math. Sci. Res. Inst. 19, 69-131 (1991)]).
