A new word for me - but I'm astonished I didn't know it already. A worthy leader!

On this page http://testyourvocab.com/faq i found following link:

PLease note, that despite using a list I am only trying words that I can understand without looking them up in a dictionary.

africanised 0.0000000800%
africanise 0.0000000603%
annualising 0.00000005564%
Unimaginatively 0.0000000550%
baitboxes 0.0000000589%
... to be continued ....
I see unimaginatively to be a lot more common.

Pick your best candidate to get on the leader board!
