And the last word is “conquistador.”
On the QueryCount section it shows the rankings of the words searched for on the WordCount section—that is, how WordCount is used. The number one word typed in is F**K. I find that really sort of astonishing. Or maybe not. I don’t know. Of course, then I had to see where it was. It is 5598.
A rank which it owes mostly to George Carlin.
What’s 8528th? I need to know what can come between an Englishman and his whistle. ![]()

Hmm, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for this sneaky chap next time I’m at a session. (Maybe that’s where my Susato went.)
I find this intriguing:
(we know what word I was looking for …)
12697: valves
12698: gypsy
12699: wight
12700: fife
12701: sweetheart
12702: brightness
12703: buds
12704: leisurely
12705: masai
12706: arousal
The challenge:
Use 10 consecutive words from this list in one sentence, in as creative a fashion as possible.
e.g.:
“Whilst my gypsy sweetheart leisurely fingered the valves of her tuba, and I concentrated on the brightness of my fife sound, the buds of arousal were rudely interrupted by the apparition of yet another masai wight!”
Go!
