This is from Bleivns, W. (2001) "Teaching Phonics and Word Study in the Intermediate Grades" New York: Scholastic, p. 126. The 175 most common syllables in the 5,000 most frequent English words. Noticeably missing from the list is the monosyllabic word "the" - which I would think would be number 2 or close.
