Find me where we say 24 words finishing like that

ברוך יוצרך ברוך עושך ברוך קונך ברוך בוראך x3

How many places in davening have 'סדר א'ב(shabbos included)?

[ExGingi]

Got it immediately...I guess I'm a kid at heart

+1
I think that makes quite a few of us here on DDF

Too many to count.

And are you also including backwards  א ב?

OK let's do only backwards

What is the pasuk most frequently mentioned in tefilla?

ה' ימלך?

No. At least according to my calculation

ה' הושיע?

That's the one. Especially if you daven Nusach Sfard, but I think for Ashkenaz also.

Okay, so I went back to check. For a standard day's davening, ה' ימלך wins for Ashkenaz.

ה' ימלך

• יהי כבוד
• אז ישיר x2
• ברכת קר"ש x2
• ובא לציון
• עלינו x3

ה' הושיעה

• קטרת x3
• הודו
• יהי כבוד

Even if you add 1 to ה' הושיעה for תחנון on Mon and Thur, it's not particyularly close. But obviously, as you said, for nusach sefard ה' הושיעה wins handily (an extra ג"פ 3's, and once in each תחנון).

You missed a bunch for ה הושיעה

- ובא לציון
- קטורת בין הערביים x3
- שיר המעלות x3( מעריב - ספרד)
- והוא רחום(מעריב)

If you calculate on a weekly basis, you can add x3 for קטורת on Shabbos, and for ואתה קדוש on matzash (there's ה ימלוך in there too).

It wins for Ashkenaz too.

I mentioned all the 3 extra ג"פ 's (that would be the end of shachris, beginning of mincha, and beginning of maariv), and none of of them are generally said by nusach ashkenaz (ie open an ashkenaz Artscroll, it won't have them - I've never seen an ashkenaz minyan in America say them). ובא לציון and והוא רחום I missed, but it's still 9 to 7 in favor of ה' ימלך for ashkenaz.

As far as Shabbos, the extra ובא לציון's are a wash. Everything else should be the same, except that here everyone says the extra ה' הושיעה x3 at the end of mussaf. But that's not enough to make up the deficit of the rest of the week. I maintain that ה' ימלך wins for ashkenaz.

you missed ה הושיעה in
- למנצח before ובא לציון
and ה ימלוך x2 before ברוך שאמר

[good sam]

True. 1 more for Ashkenaz.

Now if I'm counting correctly, ה ימלוך wins by 2 per week.

[skyguy918]

ה' ימלוך before ברוך שאמר is nusach sefard only as well (and doesn't do much to ה' הושיעה's huge lead in nusach sefard).

So a regular day for ashkenaz is:
ה' הושיעה: קרבנות ג''פ, הודו, יהי כבוד, למנצח, ובא לציון, והוא רחום = 8
ה' ימלך: יהי כבוד, אז ישיר ב''פ, ברכת קר"ש ב''פ, ובא לציון, עלינו ג''פ = 9

First you throw away the outside.
Then you cook the inside.
Then you eat the outside.
Then you throw away the inside.

That could be another answer, except that when you eat the outside, it's not really outside anymore

Except with corn you cook it with the outside on.
