GSL limiter
How to use it
- Try 619 as a starting word, and 2284 to finish (10% of words in written English)
- Try limiting the GSL even further by using a number higher than 619
- Try reducing the top number, as the words at the end of the GSL are very low frequency
- Try experimenting with the numbers to understand the frequencies of different ranges of words in the GSL
