You're actually right. I just took a huge list of words without caring for which was the most common *words*. My bad.

Where did you get your list of words? Also is it useful to account for the frequency of the words themselves when calculating this list? E.g. if "the" is the most popularly used word in english, it would significantly skew the upwards the usage of the letters "t" and "h"
