What is WordStats?

WordStats is a crowd-sourced word frequency explorer. Every time someone searches a word, it’s counted — building a live map of what the world is thinking about, across all languages.

Where does the data come from?

Entirely from searches made by real visitors on this site. There is no external dataset — every data point is a genuine human lookup, stored anonymously in our database.

Is my data private?

Yes. We store only anonymous word counts. No IP addresses, no user accounts, and no personal identifiers of any kind are stored or transmitted. All aggregated data is public.

How are categories and languages determined?

Categories are first detected automatically using keyword patterns, then refined by AI (GPT-4o mini). The community can vote to correct any assignment at any time using the "Correct it" button on any result.

Can I search in any language?

Absolutely. WordStats supports any word from any language. The AI will detect the language and suggest a category automatically. You can always override both.

What is Challenge mode?

Challenge presents pairs of words and asks you to guess which one is rarer. The harder the round, the higher your score. Top rare-word hunters appear on the global leaderboard.

Who owns this site and data?

WordStats is an independent project. The aggregated search data is provided as-is, without warranty of accuracy. No portion of this data may be redistributed for commercial purposes without permission.
