Guess again!

Here's another amusing game I found. Apparently, in the Oxford English Dictionary are more than 2 billion words! That's 2 000 000 000, or 2 000 000 000 000 if you use a British billion. Whatever it is, it's a very large number. We don't use 2 billion words in our speaking and writing, we only use a few thousand. This website asks you to guess the 100 most common words that we use from day to day. How many can you get? Here's our class scores:

Naufal 13% (he went first)
Tariq 24%
Faisal 28%
Mr Ward 51%
Aly 20%
Ula 20%
