There are thousands of words that only happen a few times and are significantly longer than average. I found that these words were around twice as likely to have an l, s, or r in the middle of the word, but most notably were 13 times as likely to have a y, which makes me think that y is definitely positional or a separator, if it wasn't already obvious by 40-45% of words ending in it.
I would consider trying the experiment again with the letter y removed.
