Two shows in one: the studio and the house
Terrace House cuts between six housemates in a kitchen and six professional comedians in a studio. They are not speaking the same Japanese, and the deck above is built from the housemates only.

How we measured this
Every number here comes from 245 episodes of Terrace House across 5 eras — 129.5 hours and 2,413,416 characters of Japanese subtitles, measured on 2026-08-30.
These are human-written subtitles, not speech recognition, which is why every card can carry a real line. They are also condensed for reading speed, so a subtitle character count slightly understates what is actually said. That makes the chars-per-minute figures comparable within Terrace House and not against our YouTube catalogue, and it is why every claim about a word is a count of episodes rather than a rate.
Just under half of all subtitle cues name their speaker. That is what lets us separate the studio panel from the housemates, and the deck is built from housemate conversation only — the panel is a professional television register, 14 points harder on our 0–100 difficulty scale, and it is not what you came to learn.
Words were written by hand, then measured and cut: published only if they appear in at least 10 episodes across 3 eras and clear the same JMdict dictionary check the rest of the site uses. 401 words and 44 expressions survived. 8 entries (ヤバい, 意外と, モテる, ヤツ, ウワサ, メシ, お客, もうちょい) carry a reading supplied by hand rather than by the dictionary: each is ordinary spoken Japanese that JMdict indexes under a different spelling, and each was checked individually. Example sentences are real lines chosen by a person from the ranked candidates, one per card, each credited to its episode.
