Another fun word game, this time from wordcount.org, which tells you how popular a word is according to the British National Corpus. There are over 86,000 words in wordcount's database (vs 100 million in the corpus itself). You can either search for a word to see how popular it is ("Stephanie" is 2 words more popular than "noses", for example) or browse to see the 100th most popular word (got) and the words that follow.
Fun in a wasting time kind of way.
