Twenty three words put C in the second box and R in the third. Eighteen of them open with S, which means a run of three consonants before the word reaches a vowel at all.
SCR is an awkward opening and English does not build many words on it. SCREW, SCRAP, SCRUB and SCRUM are the ones in everyday use, and after those the branch drops quickly into rarer terms.
The fourth box is where those words separate. A takes nine of the twenty three, thirty nine percent, and E takes five. Only five letters appear there at all, so it is a vowel choice rather than a search.
Five words open with a vowel instead. ACRES and ACRID are the two worth remembering, and they behave nothing like the SCR group because a vowel comes first.
Yes. It is the loose rock that gathers at the foot of a slope, and the one word here that repeats a letter.
Fixing C second and R third forces a cluster the language rarely builds. Twenty three words is what English actually offers for it.
SCREW covers the common S opening and tests E and W at the same time. If it comes back empty, ACRES moves you to the vowel branch in one step.
