One hundred thirteen words place A second and T third, and E in the fourth box covers more of them than any other letter by a wide margin.

E After the T Is the Default for AT Words

E takes the fourth box in forty two of the one hundred thirteen, thirty seven percent. RATES, WATER, LATER, GATES and HATED all run through it.

Nothing else gets near. T is second on sixteen and H third on eleven, so once you are past E the field thins out fast.

The TCH Words Sit Together

BATCH, CATCH, HATCH, LATCH, MATCH, PATCH and WATCH all share the same three closing letters. Land on the H and you are choosing between openers rather than shapes.

  • WATCH
  • MATCH
  • PATCH
  • CATCH
  • HATCH

The AT Words in Everyday Use

WATER, LATER, RATIO, FATAL and NATAL are the entries most likely to be wanted outside the TCH group. MATES, DATES and GATES cover the plural side.

Sixteen of the one hundred thirteen repeat a letter, with BATTY, CATTY, FATTY and MATTE putting a second T straight after the first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WATER or MATCH the better guess

WATER tests the E fourth box that forty two of these take, so it covers far more ground. MATCH only helps if you already suspect the TCH shape.

How do MATZA and MATZO differ

They are two spellings of the same unleavened bread. Both appear here, so the last letter is what separates them.

Why is FATWA in this list

It is an Arabic borrowing that has entered general English. It is one of four entries here ending in A.

Does the A sound the same in all of them

No. It is short in BATCH and CATTY, long in RATES and HATED. The spelling gives you no clue which.
