Well, you can find a large number of big brands or Cool websites using WordPress name list. However, when I establish this list, I want to be more objective. So, this is how I create these websites

Alexa's top 10 websites use WordPress to sort by their Quantcast
Like Alexa, Quantcast is a way to approximate website traffic/popularity. The lower the score, the more traffic the website has.
The following is the initial report:
Then, I carried out some manual controls on this list, filtering out sites where WordPress was not the focus, or used for some small projects that did not attract enough attention. Basically, I want to make sure that every website not only has WordPress installed, but uses WordPress in a meaningful way.
For example, Craigslist uses WordPress But only one Strange blog page , apparently not receiving much attention. For this reason, I did not include Craigslist in this list, even though it is one of the largest websites in the world.
Then I:
The supplementary list and the search of some large websites that do not appear in BuiltWith find the global Alexa ranking for some reason, and sort each website by ranking (Alexa is not applicable to sub domains - so Alexa ranking is always the main domain name).
Oh, if you want to know, I don't include WordPress.com， Because This is cheating!
