Only eighteen words hold E second and U third, and a good many of them come from Scots rather than standard English.

Scots Forms Dominate the EU Group

HEUCH, HEUGH, LEUCH, TEUCH and TEUGH are all Scots words, and they cluster around the same sounds. H closes five of the eighteen, which is unusually high for a final letter.

That makes the group feel narrower than the count suggests. Several of these are variant spellings of each other rather than separate words.

The EU Words in Standard English

REUSE, DEUCE and FEUDS are the three you are likely to meet. GEUMS, a genus of garden plants, and NEUME, a mark in medieval musical notation, are the next most recognisable.

C Leads the Fourth Box in EU Words

C takes it in five of the eighteen, with M on three. Past those two the fourth box spreads across eight letters, so it rarely settles much.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do HEUCH and HEUGH differ

They are two spellings of the same Scots word for a crag or a steep glen. Both are valid and they differ in the last two boxes.

Is REUSE the safest guess

Yes, it is the most ordinary word in the group. It also tests the S ending that five of these take.

What is a FEUAR

Someone holding land under a Scottish feu tenure. It is legal vocabulary drawn from Scots property law.

What does YEUKY mean

Itchy, in Scots and northern English dialect. YEUKS is the related noun and both appear here.

Do any EU words repeat a letter

Zero of the eighteen do, so you can treat every box as holding a different letter.
