Use ? for unknowns

Eighty three words put B first and A third, and three openings carry almost all of them. The rest of the alphabet barely appears in the second box.

Where the B and A Weight Sits

R leads with thirty two words, thirty nine percent of the pattern. L takes twenty one and E takes eighteen. Together those three cover seventy one of the eighty three, which leaves very little anywhere else.

  • BEACH
  • BLACK
  • BRAIN
  • BOARD
  • BEAST

Three Openings That Carry B and A Words

The BR branch gives you BRAIN, BRACE and BRAID. The BL branch gives BLACK, BLAME, BLAND and BLAZE. The BE branch gives BEACH, BEARD and BEAST.

Each branch has its own feel. BR words lean on a following vowel, BL words spread across more endings, and BE words are mostly nouns. Testing one word from each covers more ground than three from any single branch.

  • BLAZE
  • BLAND
  • BEARD
  • BRACE
  • BOAST

S ends twenty three of the eighty three, twenty eight percent, well clear of E on twelve. Only four words here repeat a letter, so the doubled shapes that dominate some patterns are almost absent from this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BOARD or BOAST the better opening

They share three letters and split at the fourth box. BOARD is the more common word, and both come from the small O branch of five words.

Why do BEACH and BEECH both exist

Different words entirely. BEACH has A in the third box and belongs here. BEECH has E there and sits on a different pattern.

Which fourth letter is most likely

N, on eleven words, then S on eight. It is a flat spread though, so the fourth box is not where this pattern breaks open.
