So this got me thinking, and I calculated the frequency of each letter in each 5 letter word in english.

I found a list of them here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlesreid1/five-letter-words/master/sgb-words.txt

So I downloaded them and ran the following command to get the most frequent letters:

```
$ for char in {a..z}; do count=$(grep $char -o words.txt | wc -l); echo "$count - $char"; done | sort -hr
3033 - s
3009 - e
2348 - a
1915 - o
1910 - r
1592 - i
1586 - l
1585 - t
1285 - n
1181 - d
1089 - u
964 - c
955 - p
886 - y
843 - m
814 - h
715 - b
679 - g
596 - k
561 - f
505 - w
318 - v
139 - x
135 - z
89 - j
53 - q
```
