Hello, gamer.

No such thing exists, short of a good dictionary.

I'm looking for the same thing.  Such a thing does definitely exist.  What do you mean by common? 1st 100/1000/10000?  Send me an email to (personal contact removed. register and add it in your profile please) and i'll send it you when i find it,( or make it from corpus data as a last resort).
I have found the 500 most common but don't want to be bothered to parse them :)

There is no such thing as a "complete" list.

 You could try these:
