Were it not for the absence of s from this sequence, I would say it had something to do with the relative values of the various tiles for scoring purposes in scrabble. etaoin shrdlu is all there except for the s, and all of the highscoring letters are among the letters relegated to the putative "other word" dfjkmqsvwxz.

My bet is that any top-level scrabble player knows what this means. I'm sort of surprised that tsuwm doesn't.
