How many words you know?

[Tassu]

So, if you have the time, please take the following test. This should not take longer than ~ 2-3 minutes.

Apparently I know 25k English words. I am kind of curious how others here score.

 

[reverie.]

according to this ~ 16K. . . . so not a lot, obviously

 

[Revelations]

31526

Some of these words are so rarely used, but I learned Mawkish this year so I feel good about that. Clutch word.

 

[Osteo]

According to the test, it is about 29k, though, like Rev said above. A lot of these words are rarely used, and I had to think about them, but I knew their definition even if I had never regularly (or ever) used them before.

 

[Ech0]

According to the test:

44963

I guess all the years in uni studying Lexicology paid off XD

 

[DemonicOne]

According to this? 18812 but there were some on there that I had heard but would not be able to use correctly in a sentence.

 

[Vyce]

33670.

 

[raison detre]

Around 25k. There were some words I knew and could vaguely remember the context and assume the general meaning of it, but I didn't check them since I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

Still, I think I did pretty good especially since English is not my first language.

 

[Sync]

Apparently my barely-educated head is familiar with in excess of 28,400 words.
