Hi Sjoerd,

Thanks for the lead. I will need to digest what you have provided, but it is incredibly helpful to have something that works and works efficiently.

Thanks. Scott

Hello Scott, No I was not able to solve it. I added some retry logic to recover errors and as far as I can remember it worked in the end to get the desired list of most un/common words, but I had to let it run over night. Do let me know if you find out something new. Meanwhile I have given up on Mathematica, I can't use it for what I bought it for. If data is not missing it is too slow.

Daniel,

Thanks for your reply. The Wolfram Language does some very clever things so easily, that I was shocked that it was so clumsy and slow with what I thought would be an elementary exercise.

I am not quite ready to give up on Wolfram yet. I have been tinkering around with logic to break the query down and recover from failures, but I haven't gotten there yet.

I see that someone has posted their solution, so I plan to dig into that.

Hopefully, I will "get" the style of this language and have some fun with it.

Thanks again. Scott
