Lists of Words

To support the improvement in Morse Code (sending/receiving),
the "Randomized Lists of Common English Words are provided.
The lists of words in the zip-archive are plain text files
(encoding format UTF-8).

The lists are based on the 2809 words of
"The New General Service List" (NGSL)[see REFERENCE below]
by Browne, C., Culligan, B. & Phillips, J.  (2013) -- 
a "...word list of the most important words of general
English and daily life for second language
learners."(NGSL)[see REFERENCE below]

The word lists "B..." combine all words of
"The New General Service List"(NGSL)[see REFERENCE below]
with words from
"The TOEIC Service List"(TSL)[see REFERENCE below]
by Browne, C. & Culligan, B. (2016).
(TOEIC: Test of English for International Communication).


The NGSL and the TSL are licensed under a

License.



Please note:

1.)  The "A...", "B..." and "K..." files contain one word per line.

2.)  The "A..." files contain increasing numbers 
     (100, 200, 300, ..., 2809) of the most frequent words.

3.)  The "B..." files combine all 2809 words of the NGSL with
     291/691/1191 words from the TSL.

4.)  The "K..." files only contain words of a certain minimum and
     maximum length (number of letters) as reflected in their
     complete names.

5.)  The "T..." files form six different arrays of 2400 words
     of the NGSL. The "T..." files are used only for training
     sending.
