Briefing
Description :
The most frequently used letters in the English language reveal some fascinating trends.
Based on dictionary analysis, the letter E dominates usage by a wide margin, with nearly 400,000 occurrences. Following closely behind are I, A, and O, each appearing between 300,000 and 350,000 times.
Letters like N, S, and R also see frequent use, all falling into the 200,000 - 300,000 range. As we move down the list, letters such as L, C, U, and P maintain moderate usage.
Interestingly, the letters Q, X, and J are at the bottom of the scale, making them the least commonly used, each with fewer than 50,000 occurrences. This distribution aligns with the known difficulty of words that contain these letters and their rarity in the English language.
The overall pattern reflects the heavy reliance on vowels and some common consonants in everyday English.
