Forty nine words put L first and N third, and the LIN opening takes forty one percent of them.

The LIN Family Inside L and N Words

LINEN, LINER, LINES, LINED, LINKS, LINGO and LINTS all come from it. The stem takes so many endings that landing inside it confirms three letters and leaves the page barely narrower than before.

  • LINEN
  • LINER
  • LINED
  • LINKS
  • LINGO

Where L and N Words Leave the I Branch

LUNCH, LUNGE and LUNAR carry the U branch, LANCE and LANDS the A branch, and LONER and LONGS the O branch. Those are better opening guesses than another LIN word because they differ from each other in several boxes.

S closes nineteen of the forty nine, thirty nine percent. E and G tie for the fourth box at ten words each, and only one word on the page repeats a letter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LUNCH a good opening

Yes. It is common, it sits outside the crowded LIN branch and its CH ending appears on only a handful of entries here.

How do LINEN and LINER differ

Only in the last box, and LINED, LINES and LINEY sit on the same stem. That is a cluster of words separated by a single letter.

What is a LINAC

A linear accelerator. It is one of the less reachable entries in the I branch and the only one ending in C.
