Twenty words put F first and C third, and half of them end in S.

Where the F and C Words Gather

A takes the second box in six of the twenty, I takes five and E takes four. O and U take two each and Y just one.

The branches are small enough that the second box rarely finishes anything. What does narrow the page is the last box, where S closes ten words, fifty percent of the list.

  • FACES
  • FOCUS
  • FACET
  • FICHE
  • FECAL

The FAC Words in the F and C Group

FACED, FACER, FACES and FACET come off one stem and differ only in the last box. FACIA joins them and behaves the same way, so landing in FAC confirms three letters and leaves the real question open.

FOCUS and FOCAL are the O branch and both are common, which is a better hit rate than the larger A branch manages.

E fills the fourth box in seven of the twenty, thirty five percent, with I and U on three each.

Nothing here repeats a letter, so a visible double rules the pattern out in a single step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FOCUS the best opening

Yes. It is the most common word here, it sits outside the crowded FAC stem and it tests U in both the second and fourth boxes.

What is a FICHU

A light triangular scarf worn around the shoulders. It sits beside FICHE in the I branch and the two differ only at the end.

Why do so many end in S

Ten of the twenty do, because most stems here are short nouns taking a plural. Ruling one out halves the page at a stroke.
