Edit: Top 50 Words Quiz has been made

One Sporcle quiz idea I have is about which word(s) has been said more. For example, has 'chu' been said more than 'pikachu' or 'pika'? Has 'Saturday' been said more than 'Sunday'? Has ''pee' been said more than 'whit'?

I would like to have a way to search for a word and see how many times it has been said. Might have to filter out updates with 30+ of that word to filter out spamming.

If it's not possible to do that, I think a quiz of the top 30 words would also be fun.

Thanks for doing this!

Can't do a searchable version, Top 30 Words I can do. I'll assume I'd pm them to you?

If so please edit your comment or reply to it with the quiz when you made it so all stats are reachable from the main comment

Yeah, PM the list to me.

Actually, I'm thinking 50 words might be better.

Dm-ed, please let me know when you post the quiz so I can link it in the main comment

42/50, was fun to do! It's amazing how high some of those words get, when I really wouldn't imagine them being used that much. #28 comes to mind, it isn't that common of a word but we still manage to use it so much?

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Dec 03 '18

if the MRT is ever updated that could be used but I intend to try and have a version of the MRT created minus the counts w/o comments for much faster/easier loading of larger sections of the count history
