WordCount* is an
online toy based on word popularity. (It ranks common English words
from #1 –“the”– to #86,800–“conquistador”.) You can use it to:
* Embellish short quotes or poems by giving each word its own popularity number:
“All (#41) you (#14) need (#158) is (#9) love (#384).”
The (#1) Beatles (#12851)
* Play silly word-race games: “love” is only #384–slightly less
popular than “economic”, which is #383. The word “Beatles”
(#12851) is more popular
than “Beatrice” (#12867)–I bet that would annoy the hell out of Dante
(#23652).
* Play the vanity word-race game–you know you want to. I confess I did, says Betsy (#19932) Devine (#32630).
* Thanks to Jonathan J. Harris for inventing WordCount!
