Fifty one words hold I second and V third, and E follows the V in most of them.
E takes the fourth box in thirty one of the fifty one, sixty one percent. GIVEN, RIVER, LIVES, HIVED and JIVES all run through it, and nothing else comes close.
GIVEN, RIVER, CIVIL, LIVES and RIVAL are the most common. WIVES, VIVID, DIVER and PIVOT all come up regularly.
CIVIC puts C in the first and last boxes, and VIVID puts V in the first and third. Both are common words that look strange once you notice the symmetry, and both are easy to overlook when you are hunting for fresh letters.
S closes twelve of the fifty one, R closes eleven and D closes eight. Those three carry the IVES, IVER and IVED shapes between them.
Since the fourth box is almost always E, the real work on this page is the first box and the last. The letter after the V will rarely tell you anything.
RIVER repeats the R, so GIVEN is the cleaner probe. GIVEN also tests the N ending, which the ER and ES shapes do not cover.
A Scots word for a working carthorse. It is one of the few entries here that opens with a vowel.
A liver is the organ and a livre was an old French unit of currency. The last two letters swap round, which is easy to miss at a glance.
Relating to or growing in snow, used in botany and geography. RIVAL sits beside it and differs only in the first box.
