If the odds of picking a particular letter at random are one in 26, doing it over seven selections (the number of letters in question) is (1/26)^7, or .0000000001245. Just about one in 10 billion.

I know this is all just for fun, but this is nonsense. Words in the english language are not uniformly distributed — the number of words starting with A is not the same as those starting with Z, so you can’t calculate it that simply. Not that it really matters.
