WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonality. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.

Besides being an “artistic experiment,” Wordcount is an intriguing interactive word-popularity research tool, guaranteed to shave seconds off your attention to the mundane matters of the day. (intriguing: rank 10104; attention: rank 715; mundane: rank 12164)

Hmm, it’s also very likely to crash your browser if you type in too many words. Fortunately you’d be smart enough to not be composing something like a blog entry in another browser window at the time, because that would force you to rewrite the thing twice. (idiot: rank 9547)
