The MP Cluster Behind TEMPO and TEMPT

Nine words put P in the fourth box, and TEMPO, TEMPS and TEMPT are three of them off a single stem. It is the only consonant cluster here with any real weight, since E, A, I and O take thirty one words between them.

Nasal Endings Are Unusually Common Here

Seven of the fifty one finish with N, fourteen percent, which is high for a five letter word. LEMON, DEMON and SEMEN all land there, and N trails only S, which takes twelve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do FEMUR and LEMUR differ

Only in the first box. One is a thigh bone and the other an animal, and both are common enough that you cannot rule either out early.

Is LEMMA a real word

Yes. It is a subsidiary proposition used inside a proof, and one of six words here that double a letter.

Which letters start EM words

R leads with seven, then D and H with six each. It is a flat spread across thirteen letters, so the first box is not where to spend a guess.

Does FEMME fit the pattern

Yes, it runs F, E, M, M, E. The second M sits in the fourth box, putting it in the small doubled letter group alongside GEMMA and LEMMA.
