One hundred seventy four words put A second and N third, which makes this one of the largest groups on the list.

M Opens More AN Words Than Any Other Letter

It accounts for twenty four of the one hundred seventy four, ahead of B on sixteen. After that the drop is gentle, with twenty letters appearing in the first box overall.

Where AN Words Go After the N

E, G, D and T take the fourth box in ninety three of the one hundred seventy four between them. DANCE, BANGS, BANDS and PANTS each show one of them.

Those branches behave differently at the end. The G and D shapes lean towards S, while the E shape often stops there.

The AN Words That Come Up Most

RANGE, PANEL, DANCE, HANDS and CANDY are the entries you are most likely to want. WANTS, BANKS and PANTS follow closely.

  • RANGE
  • PANEL
  • DANCE
  • HANDS
  • CANDY

S and Y close seventy seven of the one hundred seventy four between them, a little under half.

With a group this size the first box will not narrow things much on its own. The fourth and fifth boxes are where the real cuts are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there so many AN words

AN sits inside short common stems like BAND, HAND, RANG and CANE, and each of those takes several endings. That is what pushes the count to one hundred seventy four.

Is RANGE or HANDS the better first guess

HANDS tests the S ending that forty six of these take, while RANGE tests the E fourth box. HANDS rules out more on average.

What is a FANUM

A temple in Roman usage. It is one of the entries that pads the count without being a word you would guess.

Do AN words often double a letter

Eleven of the one hundred seventy four do, which is not many for a group this size. BANNS and CANNA are two of them.
