Duplicates

This is a great list but be aware that there are duplicates.

For example 'before' and 'close' appears 3 times. Out of 1100 words there are 992 unique words on the list.

There are 100 words duplicated 2 or more times. For my needs, I copied the list and removed the duplicates. It is still an awesome list. Many other lists had names included. Scanning this list I don't see names. 108.54.243.51 (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I didn't get around to finishing it! I do think knowing the most common 5000 words is an excellent way to prioritise words to learn. I will try to finish this. Glad to see an interest from others! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
