Huh. Hard to know the accuracy of these things. English has more than 600,000 words no longer disputed as English. Shakespeare used more than 300,000 words, but they weren't all English.

As a word geek, I got a score of 40K give or take 200, depending whether you count the borderline knowledge. Only about five words were utterly new to me.
