Googlewhack Word Statistics

How unique are the words people use to make googlewhacks on googlewhack.com?

It seems like people keep using the same old overused words over and over. But when the googlewhacks were analyzed they showed a surprizing diversity.

Of the 2000 most current googlewhacks (as of the morning of May 27th, 2009), 1732 words were unique and only 42 words were used 10 times or more.

Google.com shows only 9 pages that contain the word "protohumen", which of course is why it lends itself so well to forming legal googlewhacks. An interesting recounting of how that word came to be found can be seen at: http://ramblingmutterings.blogspot.com/2008/07/menstruation-and-origins-of-culture.html

One can understand why "protohumen" makes googlewhacks so easily, as it is on only 9 pages, but "fomc" (which I believe I came up with first for creating googlewhacks under my nom de googlewhack "Whackmaster B") is on over a million web pages.

Well, to find googlewhacks you have to find words that don't appear on too many wordlists. Googlewhacks coming from word lists are not allowed. As wordlists have proliferated on the web, googlewhacks have become harder and harder to find.
