The article presents some evaluations of four aspects of word length in different languages and compares both models and data: distribution, smoothness, word length in sentence, word length in text. A general discussion of the theoretical background is offered. As is shown, even these four problems require great teams, in order to bring elementary concepts and decisions. The number of co-authors should not surprise: everybody did what (s)he could.
