In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, שכל appears 425,261 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 426,003, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which שכל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 17:13, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שכל is found 6,235,035 times; chance alone would give about 6,602,864.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 426,003 of it, so a large count is expected.
