The Repeated Syllable in C and C Words

COCOA, CACAO, COCOS and COCCI all echo their first two letters in some form. That is unusual at this length, and it makes the fourth box easier to guess than the second.

Why CYCLE and CACHE Are the Two That Matter

CYCLE is the most common entry by a wide margin and CACHE is second.

Neither follows the repeated syllable shape, so they are the two to open with rather than anything from the COC family.

Y takes twelve percent of the box between, and CYCLE is very nearly the whole of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CIRCA part of this pattern

No. CIRCA puts R in the third box and the second C fourth. The two C letters need to sit one place further apart.

Why do COCOA and CACAO look so alike

They name the same plant at different stages, and either spelling puts a C in the first and third boxes, so both land in this list.

Does CACTI belong here

Yes, C first and C third. It is one of the few entries that is neither a repeated syllable nor a CY word.
