In order to get the best absolute start -up words, you should know which letters are the most in English. I stretched my hand to the big brain at Oxford English dictionary – You know, the huge multi-volume dictionary that no one really has, but that your school librarian adored. A representative of the OD sent me a list in which the staff analyzed all the main entries in the concise version of the dictionary.
“It should be noted that the part is quite old,” said the Oed representative. “He mentions that the statistics come from the concise Oxford English Dictionary in 2004, although current colleagues are not sure when the play itself was written, and I fear that we have no more recent analysis of this type.”
The list may be 20 years old, but I'm going with it. The alphabet is not like flavors of ice cream or musical acts – no new fashion in fashion has been introduced at that time. So, whether you just have entered the losts, or you want to shake your start-up words and make sure they always hit the most common letters, this list is for you.
S begins the most English words
The most common letter is not a surprise for most people: it is E, and it is immediately followed by another vowel, A. And these letters are much, much more popular than the last two letters on the eed list, which are J and Q. (any other surprising than J is used less than x and z?)
“The letter E is more than 56 times more common than q in the formation of individual English words,” revealed the Oed analysis.
He notes that there are more English words starting with the letter S than with any other letter. “”
