The Doubled S in E and S Words

ENSUE is the other one worth knowing, since its N carries a branch no other common word sits on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ERASE part of this pattern

No. ERASE puts R in the second box and A in the third. The S lands fourth.

Is EASEL or ESSAY the better guess

ESSAY is the more common word, but EASEL covers a family of four and tests four different letters, so it rules out more when it misses.

Does ENSUE repeat a letter

It uses E in the first and last boxes, a shape neither ESSAY nor EASEL shares, so a final E points towards it.
