Only fifteen five letter words put B in the second box and O in the third, which makes this one of the shortest lists in the family.
This pattern leans hard on a single opening letter. Nine of the fifteen start with A, sixty percent, and ABOUT, ABOVE, ABORT and ABODE are all among them. ABOUT on its own is one of the most used words in English.
O starts four more and E starts two. In practice you are choosing between an A, an O and an E in the first box.
OBOES and EBONY are the two outside the AB opening that most people would actually reach for. After those the list drops off quickly into terms you are unlikely to meet, which is why reading this pattern through beats guessing at it.
Yes. It runs A, B, O, U, T, so the B is second and the O is third. It is the most common word in the group by a wide margin.
Putting B in the second box already limits things, and following it with O narrows it much further. Very few English words open with a vowel and then take BO.
It runs O, B, O, E, S, so it meets the same rule from a different starting letter. It is the plural of the instrument and one of four words here beginning with O.
