I know, but it used the above heatmap to optimize for speed by putting the hottest keys for German on the baseline. It is not the standard keyboard, I learned to use it decades ago when I was a little German high school nerd and had too much time.
To clarify, it is not the total number of words but rather the number of unique words considered. Imho a million of unique words is okay. A bigger concern for me would be that words on Wikipedia can be overly specific.
For this metric, Wikipedia might not be a representative dataset. Wikipedia uses many technical terms and composite words which tend to be longer than words that are more common in an everyday dialect.
There were some comments on Reddit suggesting that cutting the dataset at 15 and removing 40% of words was not the best move. I have locally built a version with the limit set to 30.
Oh, somehow I missed the theme setting. I tried both firefox and chromium and got the light theme by default despite having my system/browser settings set to prefer a dark theme.

But why is it not a German keyboard layout?
It is, I'm using it: https://www.neo-layout.org/
It is just not able to break the habit of typewriter compatibility.
They were asking why the heatmaps pictures in OP were not superimposed on a German keyboard layout.
They were not asking why no one has made a keyboard layout out of the heatmaps data :)
Just thought I'd clarify because you're basically having two different conversations at this point
Ups, I see my confusion. Thanks.
That one is fitting the pictures even less
German layout is QWERTZ while English is QWERTY and your neo layout is neither

A million words doesn't sound like a lot

That million words sounds like a lot.
Have you considered a similarity search approach? They would handle your oddly specific synonym issue
I only have a prespellechecked list of words from here: http://www.aaabbb.de/WordList/WordList_en.php
Oh? Name all of them.
every word in one single picture:
It's incomplete, as you will only finde 95% of words used on ich_iel.
A,
A-a,
Aachen,

Great project! I really like your design language! Though it would be nice if there was a dark mode and if it supported
prefers-color-scheme.Thanks. It should read prefers-color-scheme. I have dark mode by default, but it's also possible to set dark/light mode too.
