You mean ascii.chr. It was solely based on the "RockYou" list, with dupes intact. For alpha.chr, any word longer than 14 was dropped (as opposed to truncated) as well as lines having any character not in the 7-bit ASCII range.

For alpha.chr, same as above but only words solely consisting of a-zA-Z was used.
