Four of the thirty eight repeat a letter, and the repeat is usually a second G. LEGGY, PEGGY and YEGGS all work that way, and all three are easy to overlook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEGAL or BEGIN the better opening

They share only the E and G. BEGIN tests the I and N while LEGAL tests the A and L, so whichever you pick the other stays live.

What is a SEGUE

A smooth transition from one thing into the next, used in music and in speech. It is spelled nothing like it sounds, which makes it easy to miss.

What does REGUR mean

A dark cotton soil found in parts of India. It is specialist vocabulary and not something to guess towards.

Why do BEGUM and BEGUN look so similar

Only the final letter separates them. BEGUM is a title for a Muslim woman of high rank and BEGUN is the past participle of begin.
