Is there a chart for words used less this year?

It would be a very interesting chart to see the words least used, simply because the act of putting them on the graph will increase their usage and therefore push them off the list.

Honestly it’s like the opposite of a quantum state. If observed, it changes, but if left unobserved, it remains the same.

I assume that there would be a minimum number of mentions, like how this chart doesn't count words that went from 1 -> 50 mentions.
