Larry Hosken: New: Tag: phraser

I have once again updated the Phraser phrase list and word list. These are big text files that list out some common phrases, along with a hazily-computed score number for each phrase; high-score phrases might be good candidates for puzzle answers; low-score phrases are so-so candidates. If you're a computer programmer and you want to write a little program to find the solution to a word puzzle, these files might come in handy if your logic is too gnarly for nutrimatic.

I gotta keep updating the lists, though. The list I generated six months ago doesn't think labubu is a thing. It acknowledged the existence of demon hunter but not kpop demon hunters. The old list doesn't know paramount skydance, the new list recognizes this modern monument to nepotism. The new list knows about phrases that have trended recently, including such gems as: in july 2025; in september 2025;… (many similar)…; sequel video games. OK, maybe they're not all gems. Anyhow, if you find these files handy for solving and/or designing word puzzles, head on over to the Phraser page and download the new ones.
