E’ is the most commonly used English alphabet; so common that one in eight alphabets written is ‘E’
‘S’ is the letter which starts more English words, than the rest of the 25 letters.

‘Subdermatoglyphic’ is the longest English word spelled without repeating any letter. It means the underlying dermal matrix of ridges, arches and whorls of fingertips.
This sentence sees seven different spellings of the sound “ee”- ‘He believed Caesar could see people seizing the seas.
