was thinking of teaching 3 letter words to abhirath. I thought this was going to be easy. But then I wanted to approach this methodically and create some toys and games around this too.

Started with the overall universe of 3 letter combinations. 26 26 26 = 17576 unique combinations. But not all of them will be relevant english words.

A decent enough list should be sufficient to get started for Abhirath. So got this list from some website. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UuZuVEVhlGKVzjei9J7yVY4PJhbsBiL10wzwZcLTokA/edit#gid=0

Oxford 3000 word list

I came across this oxford list of 3000 frequently used words. I sorted this list by number of characters and then by alphabets. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sQWCk6s25J6NknkZzTx7DRaH9YSu9SJU4cfCyQCFkGg/edit#gid=0
