 |
|
Just for some light amusement.
If you added up all the words (3 letters or more) in all the stories in this archive, how many would there be?
(Note - this excludes the following words: "that", "for", "and", "have", "the", "are", "you", "with", "this", "into", "then", "there", "your", "has" and "these" as they are not included in the search index!)
And for bonus marks, how many individual words are there of three letters or more?
Pat on the back for the person who gets it closest.
