This still shows shorter words are much more prevalent than longer words.
"Which" for example would be 17th overall though 1st in 5 letter words. Having "daiin" 1st overall then would be strange.
Obviously other languages, I'd pick German as I know a little, have different properties. On average short words in German (from what I remember) are longer than English words, but even so, whatever length the short words are they are probably much more frequent than longer words. So I still think the question of why a 5 letter word is most frequent is interesting, and probably also suggests it is not 5 letters in length.
