It's actually pretty easy to figure out common words. Try something like:
awk '{print $1;"' db.wordlist | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -50
For example, on htdig.org:
  11424 date
  11423 htdig
  11343 archive
  11334 subject
  11332 author
  11330 message
  11318 thread
  11001 list
  10738 generated
  10696 sorted

Sure. You can edit the nomatch.html page:
