How FIFTH and FIFTY Split

They share their first four letters and differ only in the last box, so a single guess resolves both of them at once.

The Repeated F in F and F Words

Every entry uses F twice, in the first and third boxes, so an F coming back in two places tells you nothing the pattern has not already told you.

Working an F and F Puzzle

Guess FIFTH. If the H is wrong the answer is FIFTY, and if that is wrong too the page is down to four rare words.

Few patterns close out this quickly, which makes this one of the easier pages to finish once you know the shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, a fifer plays the fife and FIFES is the plural of the instrument. Both are real but neither is common.

Why does this pattern hold so few words
