65% words in 1 hour -super vocabulary building
Pareto law or 80/20 principle applies almost everywhere. It expresses that 20% endeavors produce 80% results. Ratio of percent is not static and may change according to the case but it still provides us into the nature of action and result paradigm. According to Tim Ferriss (http://fourhourworkweek.com ) 25 most used words in English makes up 1/3 of all all printed material in English. And the first 300 words of the “The most used words in English” list make up 65% of all written material. But list of most common written words is not same as the list of most common written words.

Meaning of words or where necessary explanation is also given with every word. It will improve your understanding of most used words in English.
