Forty nine words put F first and A third, and the great majority of them open FL or FR.
L takes the second box in twenty four of the forty nine, forty nine percent, and R takes fifteen. E takes five, O takes three and I takes two, which is the whole remainder.
The FL branch holds FLAME, FLASH, FLASK, FLARE, FLAIL and FLANK, all ordinary words. FLAKE, FLAKY, FLAMY and FLAMS sit behind them and start to thin out.
The FR branch is smaller but just as useful. FRAUD, FRAME, FRANK, FRAIL and FRANC are all common, and none of them shares a stem with the others.
S closes twenty of the forty nine, forty one percent, well ahead of E on eight and Y on six.
FEAST and FOAMS are the useful entries outside both blends, and either one tells you more about the second box than another FL guess would.
They differ in a single box and both are common, so as a pair they waste a turn. Take one and spend the other on FEAST or FOAMS.
Twenty of the forty nine end in S, which is forty one percent. Ruling a plural out is the biggest cut this page offers.
A tight binding rope on a ship. It sits in the FR branch beside FRAPS and neither is a word you would reach for.
