Questions about what size of list to purchase? (5,000, 20,000, or 60,000) Take a look at this list to see what words appear at the different levels. There's no need to buy a larger list if a smaller one is adequate for your needs. Also, you don't have to purchase all of the data at once. You can purchase a smaller word list now and then "upgrade" later if you want more data (e.g. 20,000 > 60,000 = $65 > $95 (academic), or $30 more when you decide to "upgrade").
