First lucky try, “calisthenics” scores a verified 1. It would be interesting if there was a Parquet file of the raw data.
“perplexed” gets one hit. It appears in a Bible quotation on an abortion rights poster on West 77th Street. Someone is sleeping beneath the poster:

I found "intertwining" with a score of 3 also. Two instances of the word on the same sign and then a false positive third pic.

At first glance, there's plenty of grog to be had in NYC. But sailors will be disappointed. It all seems to be OCR errors of "Groceries" or the "Google" watermarks.

There's even "West Indian Grog" to be found! Surely, that must be the rum based drink? https://www.alltext.nyc/panorama/63DKJbMdVQY8ah6jgobU9g?o=85...
Sloth returned surprisingly many results, 92
Deviant returned 5 (cmon NY, do better)
Sherpa five but two false positives, two Gap ads about Sherpa fleece, two genuine including Sherpa consulting which seems pretty niche
Defenestrate got zero
A game: find an English word with the fewest hits. (It must have at least one hit that is not an OCR error, but such errors do still count towards your score. Only spend a couple of minutes.) My best is "scintillating" : 3.
