The high-frequency consonants won't partition the text into short consonant clusters. Quote: A quick thought: could the inverse of this test be used to find a correct permutation in a transposition cipher? If you have the correct permutation, you should have short consonant clusters, so I suppose it would work (if you were working with a plain transposition, where you could identify vowels). OTOH, you'd also have high-frequency digrams and trigrams, which is what people usually test for. Would counting consonant clusters work? Probably. Would it work better than counting trigrams? I'd have to test it.
