In Words and our Wordle Solver I make use of letter frequency tables to calculate the most likely word in certain word games.

There are various letter frequencies depending on if you just check a dictionary, specalist or real world text. For the purposes of cryptanalysis it matters - for word games not so much.

The original table scores each letter as percentage, from ~12% for an 'e' down to 0.07% for 'z'. To make things easier on the databse I multiplied the values by 100 so I wasn't dealing with floating point numbers. The frequenies I've used are in the tables at the end of the page.

Originally I wanted to know what words that score the highest letter frequency for each length, as that's the sort of thing that piques my interests from time to time. As a programmer I used that curiousity as an excuse to get busy creating a suite of scripts that continues to grow. If your interested a table of good start words is here and here are the words with the lowest frequency scores.
