    Thanks for providing the query and a link to execute it (I didn't know about that one). Now I can play with it and find the most popular words...

    "to", "the", "of". I don't know what I expected.

      You'll never guess number 6! Seriously, why would you think that 6 is one of them, there are so many better numbers out there
