  • HEADS
  • HOARD
  • HEATH

The HEA Family Across H and A Words

HEART, HEAVY, HEADS, HEALS, HEAPS, HEARD, HEARS and HEATS all come from it, and every one of them is an ordinary word.

That is the problem as much as the strength. HEADS, HEALS, HEAPS, HEARS and HEATS differ only in the fourth box, and HEARD and HEART differ only at the end.

R takes the fourth box in seven of the twenty one, thirty three percent, more than any other letter, which is why the HEAR shapes crowd this page.

Where H and A Words Leave the E Branch

HOARD, HOARY and HOAST carry the O branch, and HAAFS and HAARS put a second A in the second box. HOARD is the only one of those you would reach for, and it splits the page cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HEART or HEAVY the better guess

They differ in two boxes and both are very common, so either works well. HEAVY also tests Y at the end, which five words here take.

Why are HEARD and HEART so easy to confuse

They share four letters and split only at the end. Both are common, so landing on HEAR leaves a genuine coin flip.

What are HAARS

A haar is a cold sea fog. It is one of two words here with a second A in the second box, the other being HAAFS.
