Thirty two words put A first and G third, and the ANG and ARG openings take most of them. The rest are scattered thin.

How the A and G Group Divides Up

R takes the second box in nine words, twenty eight percent. L and N tie on seven each, G takes four and U takes three. Those cover almost the whole page between them.

The ANG Family in A and G Words

ANGEL, ANGER, ANGLE, ANGRY and ANGST are all ordinary words and all come from one branch of seven. That is an unusually high hit rate for a branch this size, which makes it the best place to start.

  • ANGEL
  • ANGER
  • ANGLE
  • ANGRY
  • ANGST

Where A and G Words Leave the ANG Shape

ARGUE and ARGUS carry the R branch, with ARGON and ARGOT behind them. ALGAE and ALGAL come from L, and AUGER and AUGUR from U. AEGIS is the lone E entry and worth remembering for that reason.

Telling ANGEL and ANGLE Apart

They use the same letters in a different order, which makes them the classic trap on this page. With the opening boxes confirmed as A, N, G and either E or L, the pair is still live and only the last box decides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ANGRY or ANGEL the better opening

Both are common and they differ in two boxes. ANGRY also tests Y at the end, which only two words here take, so a hit there is very informative.

What is ARGOL

A crust deposited by wine in a cask. It sits in the R branch with ARGON and ARGOT and is the least reachable of the three.

Does AUGHT fit the pattern

Yes, it runs A, U, G, H, T. It is one of three words here with U in the second box, alongside AUGER and AUGUR.
