D first and B third covers 25 words, and the four you are likely to want all start the same way.
E takes about forty eight percent of the box between, O twenty, and A and U sixteen each.
DEBUG, DEBUT, DEBIT and DEBTS are the common entries, and all four sit on that E branch.
All four share their first three letters, so the whole question is what lands in the fourth and fifth boxes.
DEBUG and DEBUT differ in the last box alone, which makes them the pair to be careful with.
DEBIT and DEBTS both carry a T, but in different boxes, so a T coming back in the wrong place is the clue that separates them.
DOBRA, DOBBY, DUBBY and DABBA cover the other three branches, and none of them is a word most players would name.
That makes the E branch worth two guesses if it comes to it, since spending one elsewhere buys almost nothing.
No. DOUBT puts O in the second box and U in the third. The B lands fourth.
Only in the last box, G against T. Guessing either one resolves the other immediately.
Its B is silent, so the word sounds like it has no B at all and players rule the pattern out before checking the spelling.
