Thirty words put I second and A third, which sets two vowels side by side early in the word.
Most five letter words keep their vowels apart. Here the second and third boxes are both vowels, which pushes every consonant to the edges and makes the shape feel unusual.
For a puzzle that is useful information. With two vowels confirmed in those boxes the field drops to thirty words straight away.
LIANA, LIANE and LIANG all run LIAN and differ only in the last box. Two are climbing plants and the third is a Chinese unit of weight, so they have nothing in common beyond their spelling.
PIANO, GIANT, DIARY and TIARA are the everyday members. LIARS, VIALS, DIALS and RIALS cover the plural side.
N takes the fourth box in ten of the thirty and L in six, with S closing eight. Those are the shapes worth testing first.
GIANT tests the N and T, which sit in the busiest fourth and fifth boxes. PIANO is common but its O ending is rarer here.
They are two spellings of the same cat sound. Both are valid, and the final letter is all that separates them.
A South African hardwood, also called African teak. It is one of the doubled vowel oddities that fill out this group.
Cheerful or laughing, borrowed from French. It sits beside GIANT and differs only in the first box.
