Sixty words carry A in the second box and B in the third, and not one of them opens with a vowel.

No Single Consonant Owns the Front of AB Words

S and T lead with ten words each, C follows with eight and B with seven. Fifteen different letters appear in the first box, so testing one and writing the pattern off is a mistake.

The AB Words You Are Most Likely to Want

TABLE and CABLE differ by a single letter and both turn up constantly. LABEL, CABIN and HABIT land on three different endings, so as a set they tell you far more than three lookalikes would.

  • TABLE
  • CABLE
  • LABEL
  • CABIN
  • HABIT

Six of these end in LE and four in BY, and most of the BY group doubles the B first, as in TABBY and CABBY. With A, B and a trailing Y confirmed, that doubled shape is worth checking first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these words start with AB

No. The A sits in the second box, so something always comes before it. ABOUT and ABOVE belong to a different pattern because their A is first.

Which endings show up most here

LE and BY, with six and four words each. Past those two the tails scatter widely.

What if the fourth letter is a vowel

That covers roughly half the group. I is the single most common at eleven words, ahead of E and O on nine each.
