Only three words carry F second and A third, and they come from three unrelated corners of the language.
AFARS refers to the Afar people of the Horn of Africa. AFARA is a West African hardwood used in furniture and plywood. OFAYS is dated American slang, now generally treated as offensive.
For an F to land at position three you need two letters in front of it and two behind. English tends to put F at the start of a word or doubled inside it, so this arrangement stays rare.
Two of the three open with A and one with O, so a vowel always comes first. That is the only thing the three entries really have in common.
They look alike but the entry here is the plural of a people's name. The adverb afar has four letters, so it cannot appear on a five letter page.
It is a light hardwood from West Africa, sold for furniture and plywood. Timber names supply a surprising number of unusual word list entries.
There is little point. With three words in the group and none of them common, you would spend a turn confirming something you could look up.
It is a dated slang term that survives in word lists. It appears here because it fits the pattern, not as a word worth using.
Zero of the three do. A group this small leaves no room for one.
