Expanding on the Dolch list, Dr. Edward B. Fry in 1996 created a new list of high frequency words (“Fry Words”). These are the most common words used in English ranked by order of frequency.

Dr. Fry found that 25 words make up 1/3 of all words published, 100 make up ½ of all words published and 300 make up 65% of all written material. These high frequency words should be recognized instantly by young readers.

These are helpful for adults learning English as a second language as well as for children.

This app has 500 words divided into five levels and then divided into groups of twenty-five, based on frequency of use and difficulty in a flash card setting.

Features included:
The first 500 Fry Words
The word is read out when the card is touched
Cards can be marked for the Review list (use the star to mark and settings to clear)
Long press arrow buttons to jump to start or end

For the next 500 words, see our Fry Words 2 app.
Paid and ad-free versions available.
