How this ranking works

| The English word opens the headword's definition | +10 |
| It appears later in the first definition | +6 |

| 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 “wiltshire”, or an inflected form rather than a headword. Look up the form directly — the entry page marks the grammatical case.
