Seventy eight words put A first and O third, and every one of them opens with a vowel by definition. Past that the page spreads very thin.

How A First and O Third Words Spread Out

L leads the second box on ten words, B follows on nine, and D, M and T take seven each. Z manages five, which is remarkable for that letter and worth remembering.

No branch is large enough to be worth chasing. With seventy eight words spread across that many openings, a second box guess eliminates only a small slice of the page.

The A and O Words People Reach For

ABOUT is the most common word here by a wide margin and one of the most common words in English. ABOVE, ADOPT, ADORE, ALONE and ALONG follow it.

AROMA, AROSE, ALOUD and ACORN round out the set most players would actually produce. Everything past those turns into dictionary entries quickly.

  • ABOVE
  • ADOPT
  • ALONE
  • AROMA

What the Flat Spread Means for A and O Words

E closes twenty one of the seventy eight, twenty seven percent, and N takes the fourth box in thirteen. Those are the only two figures on the page worth acting on, so work the fourth and fifth boxes and leave the second alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ABOUT always worth guessing first

It is the most common word on the page and it tests U and T, which few other entries here use together. If it misses you have still learned a lot.

Why does Z appear so often

Five words take it, which is high for a letter that is usually a dead end. ADOZE and AZOTE come from that branch, though neither is common.

Do ADOBE and ADOBO both count

Yes, and they differ only in the last box. ADOPT and ADORE sit on the same D branch, so that corner can absorb several turns.
