How this ranking works
Scores are computed once, when the site is built, from the Wiktionary data. Every headword whose definitions mention “mint” 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.
| The English word opens the headword's definition | +10 |
| It appears later in the first definition | +6 |
| It appears in any definition | +3 |
| It is in the headword's links | +2 |
| It is listed as an English descendant (etymological evidence) | +9 |
| The headword has an inflection table | +3 |
| Part of speech is a proper noun | −5 |
| Part of speech is a verb (-ian derivations are noisy) | −3 |
| The headword is an alternative form | −6 |
| The first definition is longer than three words | −2 |
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 “mint”, or an inflected form rather than a headword. Look up the form directly — the entry page marks the grammatical case.
