Does anyone know of any kind of way to efficiently check to see how common it is for a word to be written in kanji vs hiragana? Due to verb conjugations and the fact that many compounds are the same in Chinese (and thus looking them up in google inflates kanji numbers), it is hard to efficiently find out using google whether or not I should learn a word's kanji, or if they are only used less than 10 percent of the time and with furigana, in which case it is pointless to learn them at this stage.
For example, I wanted to see if I should learn 剃る (bad example since you'd be able to guess the reading from context but whatever), if you look it up in google to find out how often it has kanji vs hiragana you'd have to look it up in all verb conjugations (I don't know of any way to check all at the same time).
So is there any way to do this, or some database that shows exactly how commonly some words are written in hiragana? Jisho's "usually kana" designation is pretty broad (sometimes meaning just written in kana 60% of the time, in which case you should learn the kanji).
