How did they end up out of alphabetical order? It might be worth alphabetizing and collecting singular+plural into single entries; s and es are available, so you can pluralize most nouns (or singularize most verbs). The list has some pairs but not all, for no particular reason.

I’d suggest dropping the capitalization too, it adds duplicates, and can often be used in both senses, e.g., bill, bell, hill, hiss…

Also note there are plenty of nouns here that can be used as verbs and verbs than can be used as nouns.
