Hi Tomo,

Not sure what you mean. I bought your books earlier in the year, (I think they are great by the way) but I still think this is a useful source of information as it has been running and collecting data for over 3000 days. OTHER sources of data may be more useful but it is no harm using more than one data set to confirm associations. I'm sure you can guess what the strongest association for red is on this database?

regards,

Sea.

Another resource in a similar field of interest to be found here:

LINK

(A "Hangman Strategy" page, looking at which letters occur most frequently in the English language)

Not sure how to apply it, in all honesty, but there's something in it I'm sure.

It probably came across wrong. It feels like starting again and you can't enter more than one word, so you can't really "triangulate" on a thought directly. The South Florida database has 750,000 cue/target pairs. If you download it, you can really do some serious analysis because you can see multiple associations at once.

No Problem Tomo,

The south florida database is pretty powerful and you are right, the fact that it can be downloaded makes it waaay more suitable for analysis.

I guess, the more databases available to us the better, a list of such databases would be handy, maybe that would make a useful sticky??

regards,

Sea.
