How this list works

Which words count as common?

Common words are dictionary words that also show up often in everyday writing. Less common words include rarer plurals and verb forms, older or regional words, and words mostly seen in word games. Rare words come from the largest dictionaries and word-game lists and are seldom used at all. Proper names, abbreviations and offensive words are left out.

Will every word work in Wordle?

Most do, but not all. Wordle and similar games accept a large list of guesses and pick answers from a smaller set of familiar words, so start with the common list when you are hunting for an answer.

Where do the words and definitions come from?

The list combines SCOWL, a word list maintained by Kevin Atkinson for spell checkers, with the public-domain ENABLE list used by many word games. How common each word is comes from wordfreq, a measure of how often words appear in books, news, subtitles and the web. Definitions come from Open English WordNet.
