Nice, hexwords only has 1000 words, compared to your 3500

[Jleagle]

Lots of the 2,500 don't seem very recognisable, possibly from another language?

[abyssin]

Fesses is from French, for instance.

[Jarmsy]

But common in informal English as a shortening of confesses.

[wiredfool]

I've only seen that as 'fess up'

[wizzwizz4]

In my head, it's a conjugation of "fess", which is a shortening of "confess". (Until I thought of it that way I was thinking "I've never seen this before", despite the word being in my vocabulary.)
