(I am personally almost exclusively familiar with conditional character entropy, where the contrast between Voynichese and a randomly selected medieval text is quite stark.)

I used the Shannon entropy formula. It's more simple and different from CCE.

We have word string "fachys ykal ar ataiin shol shory ctoses y kor sholdy":

Shannon represents the uncertainty of each letter independently. The entropy is 3.64 bits.
Conditional entropy represents the uncertainty of each letter given the previous one. The entropy is 2.75 bits.
