There are millions of words in all of the world's languages.
Not to mention that many words have multiple meanings, rather than separate words for every use.
In English, one estimate is about 250,000 words (170,000 in the Oxford Dictionary alone) and there are new words being created every day, even as some become archaic and rarely used.

LaoIt is impossible to determine the exact number of words in the world due to the vast number of languages and dialects spoken globally. The Oxford English Dictionary contains over 170,000 words in current use, but estimates suggest there are over a million words in the English language alone. When considering all languages, the total number of words is likely in the tens of millions.

How many words are in the world?
There are millions and trillions of words! The fact is that no one knows. It can't even be said for certain how many words are in the English language, let alone all the languages of the world. The Oxford English Dictionary, considered to be the most complete dictionary of English, contains 291,500 entries. But it has happened more than once, that I've gone to the OED to look up a word and not found it. New words are constantly being coined, or borrowed, into the language, while others drop out of use.
