Two hundred twenty eight words carry A second and R third, more than any other pairing in these two positions.
LARGE, MARCH, PARTY, CARDS and EARLY are the most familiar. EARTH, PARKS, MARKS and HARSH are not far behind.
S closes eighty four of the two hundred twenty eight, thirty seven percent. Y is next on thirty three, and between them they take over half the last box.
Twenty different letters appear in the fourth box, and the busiest of them covers only fifteen percent. Compare that with the last box, where one letter alone takes thirty seven percent.
So the fourth letter is the weakest guess on this page. With A and R confirmed, work the ending first and come back to the fourth box later.
Twenty two letters open these two hundred twenty eight, led by C on twenty nine and P on twenty six. That is a wide spread, so the first box rarely settles much by itself.
EARTH begins with a vowel, which only seven of these two hundred twenty eight do, so it tests something unusual. LARGE covers the commoner consonant start.
Most are plurals of short nouns like CARD, PARK, MARK and BARN.
It is an accepted spelling of the exclamation, and it doubles the A at the front. It is one of sixteen entries here that repeat a letter.
