> Beginning with the full list of 5-letter words, I calculated the frequency of each letter of the alphabet in each of the 5 possible positions for a 5 letter word.

There’s a great many 5-letter words that the creator will never consider because they’re too obscure. Treating all 5-letter words as possible is a mistake when calculating strategy for this.

High-frequency letters will be over-represented in your analysis.

GP might’ve pulled the wordlist from the site. It’s in the bundle iirc.
