"the most frequently occurring letters in typical English text are e-t-a-o-n-r-i." But "Wheel of Fortune" told me to guess R-N-S-T-L-E!

It's not contradictory. Wheel of Fortune only gives you one vowel for free, e is the most common, same as here.

Wheel of Fortune gives you several consonants, order matters less, and both lists share n r and t.
