English is full of surprises. Here are ten strange, silly, or just plain awesome word trivia facts to throw around next time you’re flexing your vocabulary muscles (or just avoiding small talk).

1. “Bookkeeper” is a rare triple-double.

It’s the only unhyphenated word with three consecutive double letters: oo, kk, ee. Spelling bee bonus round, anyone?

2. “Almost” is in perfect alphabetical order.

A-L-M-O-S-T. Alphabet goals.

3. “Strengths” is mostly consonants.

It has 8 consonants and just 1 vowel — the longest such word in English.

4. “I am” is a full sentence.

That’s right. Two words, three letters. Full grammar. Full existential energy.

5. There’s a word for the fear of long words.

It’s hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Cruel, but real.

6. “Uncopyrightable” has 15 unique letters.

Not a single repeat. It’s the longest word with zero duplicates.

7. “Facetiously” uses all five vowels — in order.

A-E-I-O-U. Just like the alphabet song taught you.

8. “E” is the most common letter… except in Gadsby.

This 50,000-word novel doesn’t use “e” once. Madness? Genius? Yes.

9. “SWIMS” upside down is still “swims.”

Try it. Your brain will be weirdly satisfied.

10. “Dreamt” is the only English word ending in “mt.”

It’s oddly lonely at the end of that spelling.
