http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/papers/gregg+01euroforth.ps.gz. Page 5
contains some Top 20 word counts.

An inspection of Win32Forth has about 15 uses; a few in the games like
Soduku and Pentominoes for solution solving, and in quicksort. There's an
appearance in the object classs routines where the code appears to
recursively search through vocabularies looking for a matching method;
quite why this one is recursion rather than a loop through a list isn't
clear to me.
