A ranking of the most commonly used words in the English language, which currently sees “the” rank at number one, and the possibly not-so-well-known “conquistador” at number 86,800.
WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.
If you’re into a “word of the day” this is the place to find a new one each day.
