The CH and TTY Endings Cluster Together

FETCH, KETCH, LETCH, RETCH and VETCH all close the same way, and five of the seventy one end in CH. BETTY, PETTY, JETTY and NETTY form the other cluster.

Both groups differ in the first box alone. Land on either shape and what remains is a choice among openers rather than a puzzle about structure.

Where ET Words Go After the T

E takes the fourth box in twelve of the seventy one and A in eleven, with T on nine. That spread is even enough that the fourth letter rarely decides anything on its own.

How ET Words Finish

S closes eighteen of the seventy one, well ahead of L on eight and Y on six. A plural is the likeliest ending by a wide margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is METAL or FETCH the better opening

METAL tests the common A and L. FETCH only helps once you already suspect the CH ending, so METAL is usually the stronger first move.

How do METER and METRE differ

They are the same unit spelled two ways, METER in American English and METRE in British. Both appear here and they differ in the last two boxes.

What is a VETCH

A climbing plant grown for fodder. It sits alongside FETCH and KETCH and differs from them only in the first letter.
