Have you visited Wordcount.org?

It lists the 86,800 most frequently used words in English, with #1 being the most commonly used word: the.

My question to you above contains two of the top twenty-five:  have (#21) and you (#14). Then, in decreasing rank: word (#487), visited (#2354), count (#2398), and org (#67256).

Search by word or by rank. For example:

• The year of the Battle of Hastings (#1066): eye.
• The year Vincent van Gogh was born (#1853): castle.
• The year Copernicus died (#1543): buildings.

Totally (#1766) cool ( #2520)!
