Only two words carry F second and R third, and they have nothing whatever in common.
AFRIT is a powerful demon from Arabic and Islamic folklore, sometimes spelled afreet. AFROS are hairstyles, from a word that entered English in the twentieth century.
One arrived through centuries of literary borrowing and the other through popular culture. They share three letters and nothing else at all.

A powerful demon or jinn in Arabic folklore. Afreet is the commoner English spelling, but it runs to six letters and cannot fit here.
Yes, it is simply the plural of afro. It is the more likely of the two to appear in a modern puzzle.
An F at position three needs a vowel in front and a consonant cluster behind. AFR is close to the only workable combination at this length.
Zero of the two carry a repeat, so every box holds a different letter.
They score almost identically, so the choice comes down to what the board will let you place.
