I did a thorough analysis of the script and its results. There's no systematic error ignoring certain / certain length words. The algorithm to select characters is a rudimetary one and has its flaws as pointed out before. By defining more sophisticated rules on how to use / evaluate / improve the random number generation and application (no zero target, no double substitution), you could certainly stabilize the results, but to what avail?
I'm OK to close the thread.
