How this ranking works

Scores are computed once, when the site is built, from the Wiktionary data. Every headword whose definitions mention “grammatical” gets the points below; the candidates are then sorted by total. The score is shown on each entry above so the order can be checked rather than trusted.

It appears later in the first definition+6

A candidate has to be a real headword with its own entry: inflected forms and grammatical terminology (genitive, nominative, preterite, …) never appear here.

Not one of these?

The match may be a different sense of “grammatical”, or an inflected form rather than a headword. Look up the form directly — the entry page marks the grammatical case.
