S closes sixty one of the one hundred forty four and Y closes twenty six, which is eighty seven between them. Ruling both out is by far the biggest cut available on this page.
R takes it in twenty eight of the one hundred forty four, ahead of T and L on sixteen each. BEARS, HEART, LEARN and YEARS all run through it.
Past those three the fourth box spreads out fast, with sixteen letters appearing in all. It narrows the field but rarely finishes it.
YEARS, LEARN, LEAST, MEANS and BEACH are the most common. HEART, DEATH, LEAVE and READY sit close behind, and PEACE is worth remembering for the C.

YEARS tests the S ending that sixty one of these take, so it eliminates more. LEARN tests consonants the S branch often lacks.
It is the French plural of beau, and English borrowed the spelling along with the word.
