I know we talked about this site before.
I gqther it's just a brute force analysis of lots and lots and then some more texts in English to arrive at the hierarchy of the most used words.
It's possible to use this list to construct entire paragraphs with nothing more than five-number sequences, assuming that the first 9,999 words on the list have their serial number zero-filled to the left. And unless you know what the key is, it would be an unbreakable code or cypher.
But some words are used for verbs, nouns, adjectives, which changes their place in the hierarchy. If you could go through those texts and isolate time people and water uses to restrict to nouns you would have totally different placement.
