Think I have the lowest score here. 16,400 words. English is not my native language but I speak English daily and I wouldn't say my English is bad. Pretty disappointed with the score and also surprised the median is way way higher than I expected.
Edit: And, also to add, I followed 2 criteria for whether I know the word or not.
1. What's the absolute definition?
2. And can I find the equivalent or meaning of it in my native language? (which is Tamil, an Indian language, if anyone cares.)
- autarch 15y agoI think a lot of the words are ones that you will only ever encounter in reading fiction (and flower/older fiction at that). Also, keep in mind that this test doesn't include field-specific technical jargon.
- Hello_sup 15y agoThe lowest on this site has less than 14k words (guess how I reached this conclusion).
- naveens 15y ago21,400. My native tongue is Tamil too. In the second list I was surprised at some of the words, which I've never ever seen before.
