The term “Fry words” refers to the list of 1,000 high-frequency words compiled by Dr. Edward Fry in 1957 and was developed based on the most frequently-occurring words in the English language. The Fry list contains 1,000 words and includes all parts of speech and was updated in 1980 to add words from a more recent word frequency count.
