Frequently Asked Questions

Is BEGIN the best opening

It is the most common word here and it tests the largest branch. If the second letter comes back as something other than E, the remaining page is short enough to read.

Do BOGEY and BOGIE mean the same thing

No. A bogey is a golf score or a spectre, a bogie is a wheeled undercarriage. Both are on this list and they differ only in the fourth box.

Why is every second letter a vowel

A G in the third box needs a vowel in front of it at five letters. No consonant fits there, which is why the second box has so few options.
