How results are ordered
Dictionary lookup matches complete headwords and pronunciations, or words in English definitions. Additional readings, names and variants are linked from their principal entries. Related words are separate, and partial pinyin has its own suggestions. General lexical entries precede names and historical references. Available frequency counts help order comparable matches.
Frequency data from Cai & Brysbaert, SUBTLEX-CH (2010), Creative Commons Attribution. Counts describe written forms across their readings. A missing count is unknown.
