I made you one that I think will be of some use as a study aid. It's a separate map for each of the starting letters. Checkyermailbox.
ps: XODP!

it would be about the Vth row down (looking at the light/dark bars). looks like the first column over (the Oth group of 26 in a row, since the Vs don't start at the beginning), kind of in between the VOE and the VOW/VOX pair right next to each other.

color: red = v/26, green = o/26, blue = n/26. which would be a slightly orange medium pink. Perhaps you'd call it "1980s salmon."

except that it wouldn't be on there at all, because it's no damn good.

well, if it were an actual word, then it would have a different color code:
red=0, green=0, blue=0, making it as black as the coffee I pour on the dark patches of my filet of sole. (e.g. the black dot at the very end is zzz.) Only non-words get to be salmon colored.

Ok, oddly enough I was thinking about this tonight while doing laundry, so for what it's worth I wrote a program to plot out simran's idea. I used some data I ganked off the net. It works out that the data points for words are a lot less sparse than for primes, although that's pretty obvious. The two plots look like this (for the first 474721 possible data points, which is roughly the number of possible words of less than 5 letters).

Primes highlighted:
