From Notes on the content: "The lexical corpus includes all of the General Service List (Bauman and Culligan 1995 version).  This is a collection of 2,284 commonly used English words.  More words will be added progressively, selecting them on the basis that most non-native speakers of English would be unlikely to pronounce a selected word in a universally understandable way without first hearing it spoken by a native speaker. Another source of new words is you: unsuccessful searches are automatically considered for inclusion.  [Addendum May 13, 2007: this last source has, it turns out, swamped all others.]"
