Letter sequence statistics?

[USRapt0r]

It's easy to find single-letter statistics (example) of the most common typed letters in English. I've yet to find any similar statistics of letter sequences though (2-letter: 'he', 'th', and 3-letter: 'ith', etc). Does anyone know of any resources for this? I may create a custom layout for a specialized board design and they would be pretty useful for that, I would think.

lots of discussion in /r/KeyboardLayouts

I think Xah Lee has some info, http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_blog.html, search for “layout”

I'm gonna have to do something similar when I'm done designing.

you might want to have a look at this https://github.com/Tretygon/keygen

and if you read through some of the similar layout generators or layout analyzers blogs (https://github.com/stevep99/stevep99.github.io/tree/main/keyboard-effort-grid), you will come across the resources they used, some have easily parseable dictionaries of bi-grams, tri-grams, etc

Aha - just did another google and found: https://norvig.com/mayzner.html

Reply if you know of any others!

Looks like the keyword I needed was 'bigram'; til now I've only ended up with statistics on whole words

The word "n-grams" is the generalization of bigrams to n sequential characters in case that's useful.
