In the Torah
The Torah holds 898,267 sequences of הלן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 904,556).
The shortest skip at which הלן appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:2, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), הלן is found 13,885,552 times; chance alone would give about 14,020,222.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 904,556 of it, so a large count is expected.
