Forty eight words put B first and I third, and nearly half open with BR. The rest thin out fast.

Two Consonants Carry the B and I Group

R takes the second box in twenty two of the forty eight, forty six percent, and L takes eleven. A follows on six, and E, O and U take three each.

BRICK, BRIDE, BRIEF, BRING and BRISK are the words most people would produce from the R branch. BLIND, BLINK and BLISS carry the L branch.

The BUILD and BUILT Pair in B and I Words

They differ only in the last box and both are common, which makes them the clearest trap here. BUIST sits on the same stem and is not a word you would guess, so the U branch is really that pair.

N leads the fourth box on eleven words and T follows on eight. Between them that is nineteen of the page, so the fourth box narrows better than the second once you are past BR.

S closes twelve of the forty eight, twenty five percent, and E another eight.

Only four words repeat a letter, so a visible double is a strong signal on this page rather than a common occurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BRING or BRICK the better guess

Both are common and they differ in two boxes. BRING tests N in the fourth box, which more words here take than anything else.

Does BEIGE fit this pattern

Yes, it runs B, E, I, G, E, so the I sits third. It is one of only three words here with E in the second box.

Why are BAILS and BOILS both here

They come from the A and O branches and differ in a single box. Neither is rare, so landing on one leaves the other genuinely live.
