I know how to find the most frequent in all words: mode(strjoin(dict,'')). However I know want to know how to find the second and third and fourth etc. Dict is my a list of words.

a = unique(myStr);
n = histc(myStr,a);
[n,idx] = sort(n);
myFreq = myStr(idx);
Now myFreq will be the unique characters sorted from highest occurring to lowest. The sorted vector n will give you the number of times a character appears in your string. This does assume you've already concatenated all the words using
strjoin(dict,'');

a is the list of unique values in myStr
n is the count of the number of times each unique value in myStr occurs.
Then n is sorted into ascending order, and the sort order is recorded in idx
myFreq then uses the recorded sort order in order to sort the unique values into ascending order according to count.
