C first and V third covers 28 words, and half of them put A in the box between.
A leads at about fifty percent, O at twenty nine and I at eighteen, with a single U word making up the rest.
COVER is the most common entry, though it sits on the second largest branch rather than the first.
COVER, COVES, COVET, COVEY, COVEN and COVED all run COVE and separate only in the last box.
So the O branch is really one shape with six endings, which makes it the quickest branch to finish once you are inside it.
CIVIL and CIVIC are the two entries on the I branch anybody would name, and they differ in the last box as well.
The A branch is the largest but its words are more scattered, with CAVES, CAVED, CAVER and CAVIL sharing less than the COVE group does.
So the useful order here is O first for speed, then I, then A.
No. CARVE puts A in the second box and R in the third. The V lands fourth.
COVER. Its R turns up in CAVER as well, and the COVE shape it tests covers six words rather than two.
It repeats both its C and its I, with C in the first and last boxes and I in the second and fourth. Nothing else here is that symmetrical.
