Q: What is the source of your wordlists? #34

I don't see anything here explaining how you generated your word lists. Would you mind, please, discussing the source corpus and what criteria you used to filter it down? e.g. word frequency/recognition, commonly misspelled/typo'd words, word length, parts of speech (having a diversity of nouns, adjectives, etc). Thank you!

I took the list of most common words from some random website and manually filtered it one day when I was really really bored. Basically kept going until I got to 8192 words.
