Thirty five words put G first and R third, and no vowel takes more than a quarter of the second box.

No Dominant Vowel in G and R Words

I takes the second box in nine words, Y and O in six each, A and U in five each and E in four. That is a row of openings sitting inside a handful of words of each other.

  • GORGE
  • GYRUS

Why G First and R Third Is Not the GR Blend

Words like GRAND and GROUP put the R in the second box, so none of them belongs here. This pattern always has a vowel or a Y between the G and the R, which is what keeps the list small.

Y Does the Work of a Vowel in G and R Words

GYRAL, GYRED, GYRES, GYRON, GYROS and GYRUS all put Y in the second box, where every other word has a true vowel. That is six of the thirty five, which is very high for a letter most players ignore.

Several of those mirror an I spelling exactly. GYROS and GIROS both appear, as do GYRON and GIRON, so confirming the second letter matters more here than the count suggests.

  • GYROS
  • GYRUS
  • GIROS
  • GIRTH
  • GIRLS

S closes twelve of the thirty five, thirty four percent, with H and Y on five each. Only one word repeats a letter, so a visible double narrows the page to one answer at once.
