FAQ

Fictitiously, Frequently, and/or Factually Asked Questions.

Why don't the vocabulary counts equal the total number of tags in the breakdown tables (on the overview page)?

Many words have more than one tag. A few examples:

Complicating matters are words that have several meanings. One example is sorrel which has both an equestrian and an unrelated botany definition. In this case we made a separate definition for sorrel horse. When this is not possible we try to find at least one usage example for each definition. It is not the perfect solution, but for now it is the best we can offer.

Why do some books have a vocabulary count that is 'climbing'?

Simply because we are not done with publishing all of the definitions for that title yet. How much higher it climbs obviously depends both on the difficulty of the book and whether the collection will be partial or comprehensive.
