... But I was still tormented by the fact that every answer lately has a rarely occurring letter, like B. ...
Interesting. Although 'B' is in the lower half by overall count(18/26), it ranks #3 as a leading character. Would that make it a 'SchrΓΆdinger' letter? Both good and bad to use in seed words? Are there other such letters?
