One hundred words put A in the second box and S in the third. The first box is less open than it looks, because one letter takes a disproportionate share.
Nineteen of the one hundred begin with B, nineteen percent, well ahead of C, M and P on nine each. BASED, BASIC, BASIS and BASIN all come out of that one branch, and they are among the most used words in the whole group.
WASTE and TASTE share the ST shape that twenty nine of these words use. LASER and MASON step outside it, and OASIS is one of the few that opens with a vowel.
T in the fourth box covers twenty nine words, twenty nine percent, and nearly all are the AST shape of PASTE, NASTY and LASTS. Another fourteen double the S instead, giving you LASSO and GASSY. Those two branches together are well over a third of the list.
Eight words in this group begin with a vowel, which is a small enough set to be worth knowing. OASIS is the one most people reach for, and since a vowel in the first box is unusual here, ruling it in or out early can be worth a turn.
No, eight words in this group begin with a vowel, though OASIS is by far the most familiar of them.
They share four letters and differ only at the end. Both are common enough that guessing one does not rule out the other, so treat them as separate possibilities.
Nineteen, second only to the S ending at thirty two. NASTY, TASTY and GASSY are the ones you will meet most.
