+1.  High priority on simple and common french words.
+2.  Only words with 5-8 letters.
+3.  A word is fully recognizable by typing the first 4 letters (special french characters "é-è" are considered equal to "e", for exemple "museau" and "musée" can not be together).
+4.  Only infinitive verbs, adjectives and nouns.
+5.  No pronouns, no adverbs, no prepositions, no conjunctions, no interjections (unless a noun/adjective is also popular than its interjection like "mince;chouette").
+6.  No numeral adjectives.
+7.  No words in the plural (except invariable words like "univers", or same spelling than singular like "heureux").
+8.  No female adjectives (except words with same spelling for male and female adjectives like "magique").
+9.  No words with several senses AND different spelling in speaking like "verre-vert", unless a word has a meaning much more popular than another like "perle" and "pairle".
+10. No very similar words with 1 letter of difference.
+11. No essentially reflexive verbs (unless a verb is also a noun like "souvenir").
+12. No words with "ô;â;ç;ê;œ;æ;î;ï;û;ù;à;ë;ÿ".
+13. No words ending by "é;ée;è;et;ai;ait".
+14. No demonyms.
+15. No words in conflict with the spelling corrections of 1990 (http://goo.gl/Y8DU4z).
+16. No embarrassing words (in a very, very large scope) or belonging to a particular religion.
+17. No identical words with the Spanish wordlist (as Y75QMO wants).
