@RolandSchubert I just wanted point out some minor errors here.
I added an equal sign onto the filter, and then also changed the way Summary should count Vowels:
I changed the field from "Vowel" to "Count", and changed action frmo "Count" to "Sum."
I basically summed the count for each group (vowel), and this changed the order of count number for vowels.
However, this didn't influence "which" vowels got counted the most for top 5 (only order changed).
Please let me know if I made an error.

Hi @LifebloomX , you are absolutely right regarding the COUNT/SUM. I used "> 8" for length, because "yay" is appended to words startings with a vowel (length of encoded "yay" = 6) and I expected the "original" word to have at least 2 letters (length encoded >= 4).
Thank you for the hint, I'll correct the workflow.

@RolandSchubert That's what I thought when I saw that > there...so you just assumed it had at least 2 letters on the front. Anyways, thanks for posting your solution! Your solution was very easy to follow 😄

Very nice.
I tried to find
1. The most common characters
2. The most common characters at the start of words (vowels)
3. The most common characters in one letter words (ayay and Iyay)
4. The most common characters that come in pairs.
5. The most common words beginning with vowels
...and pieced it together from there.

This was fun. Probably the first time I've used Designer where the outcome wasn't a reusable workflow but a solution to a problem. I'm attaching the workflow just to show some of the tools I used.

I had no idea how to approach this one until @PhilipMannering gave me some tips

This one I spent extra time on for two reasons.
1. I really was trying to understand the ASCII rotation logic and looking for a pattern that would repeat for the two character codes.
2. Converting from pig-Latin to English isn't easy and is hampered by punctuation and Olde English.
However:
2. Then on the conversions, I had no trouble creating some basic logic for handling vowels, but the consonants have so many strings that could be possible syllables. "S-T-R", "S-T" etc. but my ruleset has a problem - for example how do I know without reading the context that a word should be "STRAIN" or "TRAINS"? So I did my best to create a ruleset that controlled for consonant clusters then worked word exceptions in. That exceptions list gets long quickly, but I don't know how else to do it. I controlled for most of what would export into excel and paste into Word...which accounts for about 7 pages. I could literally spend weeks on the rest of the text though.
