is that the biggest version without removed words? |
No. For all 29 million "English words" that Google's corpus contains, please see https://github.com/hackerb9/gwordlist/raw/master/frequency-all.txt.gz Note that Google only published entries which appeared at least 40 times. I should warn you that there are not 29 million different English words. Even the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary contains less than a quarter million words. Which means the "all" list is 99% tripe. You'll find OCR errors like the word "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" (spelled with up to 75 Is!) and email addresses for the various journals they scanned. I prefer to use the lists that have been filtered either by dictionary or frequency count. As it happens, when I removed all entries not found in any of three different online dictionaries, I ended up with about a quarter million words, which seems about right. If you find a better way to prune out the garbage words, or if there is something missing from my shortened lists, please let me know. |
P.S. I fixed the shell script so it is not in github's LFS any more so it should run on your machine easily. |
