SSTORY WORD LIST

There is a difference between "word count" and "words used."

Word count refers to the total number of physical words used in the story.

For example: In the sentence:

I went to the store to buy some cookies.

the total word count is 9

 

"Words used" refers to the actual words that are repeated throughout the story.

In the example above:

I went to the store to buy some cookies.

the total number of words used is 8 ( the word "to" is repeated and counted only once.)

 

Below is a list of the individual words used in the story.
The number to the right of each word indicates how many times that word appears in the text.
