    Questions

    Why is this A list smaller than S or I?

    This page is 170 words with definitions, not a dump of the dictionary. The I page is bigger because that list picked up a lot of in- words. In a real dictionary S still starts more English words than A.

    Is this every English word that starts with A?

    No. English has thousands of A words. This is 170 entries with definitions for the generator, not a dictionary dump.
