F first and C third covers 27 words, and the two most common ones sit on different branches.

Where the F and C Words Gather

A leads the box between at about forty one percent, I at nineteen, E at fifteen and U at eleven.

FOCUS is the most common word in the group even though O takes only seven percent of that box, which makes the count a poor guide here.

The FAC Words in the F and C Group

FACTS, FACES, FACED, FACET and FACER all share their first three letters, so the A branch behaves as one family.

FOCUS and FOCAL are the whole of the O branch, and they differ across the last two boxes.

Both are common enough that if an O turns up in the second box the puzzle is nearly over.

FECAL, FECES and FICHE cover what is left, and none of them is likely enough to spend an early guess on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FENCE part of this pattern

No. FENCE puts E in the second box and N in the third. The C lands fourth.

Which is the better opener, FOCUS or FACES

FACES. It covers the largest family and its E and S are letters FOCUS does not test, so a miss still narrows the group.

Does FICUS belong here

Yes, F first and C third. It names a plant, and along with FICHE it is one of only two I branch entries anyone is likely to know.
