The Washington Word List

The Washington Word List: Ten Thousand Standard Words is a book written by William Estabrook Chancellor and published in 1906. The book is a comprehensive list of ten thousand standard words that were commonly used in the English language at the time. The list was compiled based on the frequency of use of words in literature, newspapers, and other written materials. The book is organized alphabetically and each word is accompanied by its definition and pronunciation. The purpose of the book was to provide a standardized list of words that could be used for teaching and learning purposes, as well as for reference.
