A first and P third covers 29 words, and thirty eight percent of them double the P.

The Doubled P Branch Leads A and P Words

P leads the box between at about thirty eight percent, M at twenty one, S at seventeen and L at fourteen.

That doubled P branch is the largest, though most of what fills it out beyond the first two words is rare.

  • APPLY
  • APPLE
  • ALPHA
  • ASPEN
  • AMPLE

APPLE and APPLY on the A and P Doubled Branch

APPLE and APPLY are the two most common words in the group and they differ only in the last box.

Between them they are effectively the whole branch, so one guess there settles a third of the pattern.

  • APPLE
  • APPLY
  • AMPLE
  • AMPLY
  • ASPIC

The Smaller A and P Branches Are Worth More Here

ALPHA, AMPLE, AMPLY and ASPEN cover three other branches, and all four are words you would meet in ordinary use.

That is unusual, since on most patterns the smaller branches are where the rare words hide rather than the familiar ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is APPLE or APPLY the better guess

They differ in one box, so either settles the other. APPLE tests E, which ASPEN and AMPLE also use, so it is the slightly better first move.

Is ADAPT part of this pattern

No. ADAPT puts D in the second box and A in the third. The P lands fourth.

Do AMPLE and AMPLY work like APPLE and APPLY

Yes, the same single box difference. Between the four of them you cover the two largest branches in the group.
