Thirty four words hold E second and P third, and a single prefix accounts for a good share of them.

The REP Words Are Mostly a Prefix at Work

REPAY, REPEL, REPIN, REPOT and REPEG are all the re prefix bolted onto a short verb. R opens eight of the thirty four, more than any other letter.

SEP and LEP Words Are a Different Family

SEPAL, SEPIA, SEPOY and SEPTA come from Latin and Greek roots, while LEPER, LEPRA and LEPID share the root behind leprosy. Neither group has anything to do with the re prefix.

Where EP Words Go After the P

A and I each take the fourth box in seven of the thirty four, with E on six. No single letter dominates, so the fourth box narrows the field without settling it.

The last box is wider still, with thirteen letters appearing there. S closes six, which is the most any one ending manages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is REPLY or DEPTH the better opening

They share only the E and the P. DEPTH tests the TH ending while REPLY tests the Y, so whichever you try the other stays live.

What is SEPTA

The plural of septum, a dividing wall inside a body or a structure. SEPAL, a leaf of a flower calyx, sits nearby and is easy to confuse with it.

Why is PEPPY in this list

It carries P in both the third and fourth boxes. It is one of three entries here that repeat a letter.
