My 630 Words from the "Frequently Appearing" Category

The list of words in the "Frequently Appearing" category put out by the Scripps National Spelling Bee folk runs to 289 pages, but several of these words are given full definitions and sentences, so 289 pages, though long, isn't that long. I managed to whittle that huge list to 636 words which I think you ought to know, if you are really committed to learning English. Well, here they are, in two essays. This essay has 265 words.
