81 words put D first and N third, and all four common vowels take a genuine share of the box between them.
O leads at around twenty six percent, A at twenty one, I at twenty and E at fifteen. Four branches, none of them safe to ignore.
With a spread that even, the vowel you test first matters less than what the rest of your guess covers.
DINER and DINES differ only at the end. So do DUNES and DUNKS. Landing half of a pair leaves you one box from finishing.
DENSE and DENIM both take the E branch but split at the fourth box, which makes them a useful test of that half of the group.
DANCE and DONOR between them cover the two busiest vowels and share nothing after the D, which makes them a practical opening pair.
No. DRINK puts R in the second box and I in the third, with the N fourth. Every letter is one place out from what this pattern needs.
Because the two O sounds are different, so the ear does not register them as the same letter. The spelling is regular even when the sound is not.
A few, and they usually double the N into the fourth box. It is worth testing once the single N shapes have been ruled out.
