      English has a fairly high entropy, presumably because of its preference for consonants over vowels, and its mixed germanic/romance etymology. Note that the most predictable letters (dark blue) tend to be ``bugs'' of the spelling system, like the (which should be written as a single letter) and qu (which could be written kw).
      Note also that word breaks are relatively predictable. A curious feature is the highly unexpected m in disillusionment --- indeed, one could argue that the -ment suffix should be written as a separate word!
