Thirteen words put E first and S third, and the EAS stem takes the largest share. Outside it the page scatters badly.
A takes the second box in five of the thirteen, ahead of N and S on two each. The remaining letters appear exactly once, so past the A branch there is no structure to read.
EASED, EASEL, EASER, EASES and EASTS share three letters. Only EASED, EASEL and EASES are words you would use, and they differ from each other in a single box.
That makes the A branch easy to fall into and slow to leave. A guess inside it usually confirms the stem you already suspected rather than telling you the ending.
Two words repeat a letter here, ESSAY and ESSES, and both double the S. ESSAY is the only one of the two you would reach for, so a visible double points almost straight at it.
E fills the fourth box in six of the thirteen, forty six percent, which is the one dependable fact on this page. S closes four words and nothing else reaches more than two.
It is the most common word here and it tests the doubled S at the same time. If it comes back empty you have ruled out the repeats entirely.
A red dye used in staining biological samples. It is the only word here with O in the second box.
Yes, it runs E, N, S, U, E. The U in the fourth box is unique on this page, which makes ENSUE easy to confirm once you have that letter.
