Eight words put B second and E third, and they split evenly between two openers.
Four start with A and four with O, out of eight altogether. That makes the first box an even choice rather than a guess.
OBESE and OBEYS are the two you are most likely to want. ABETS and ABEAM turn up occasionally, and the rest sit well outside daily vocabulary.
A takes the fourth box in three of the eight and L in two. With five letters appearing there, the fourth box splits the group about as much as the first does.
With B and E confirmed at two and three you are choosing between eight words. That is small enough to read through rather than guess at.
They share the O, B and E and differ only in the last two boxes. OBEYS ends in S, which two of these do.
A white poplar tree. It is one of the older words here and not one most players would produce unprompted.
It is a West Indian word for a kind of folk magic. Borrowings like it make up most of what fills this group beyond OBESE and OBEYS.
