Hello, gamer.

No such thing exists, short of a good dictionary.

I'm looking for the same thing. Such a thing does definitely exist. What do you mean by common? 1st 100/1000/10000? Send me an email to (personal contact removed. register and add it in your profile please) and i'll send it you when i find it,( or make it from corpus data as a last resort).
I have found the 500 most common but don't want to be bothered to parse them
