M and N Shape the Box After the U

M takes the fourth box in thirteen of the seventy six and N in nine, giving CLUMP, FLUME, BLUNT, CLUNG and FLUNK. E leads on sixteen with BLUES, CLUED and GLUES.

Those nasal shapes are what make the page sound the way it does. UMP, UMB, UNG and UNK carry most of the one syllable words between them.

Where LU Words Finish

S closes seventeen of the seventy six, ahead of E on nine and K on seven. That K rate is high, coming from CLUNK, FLUNK, PLUNK and BLUNK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CLUBS or FLUID the better opening

FLUID tests the I and D, which the UMP and UNK shapes never use. CLUBS confirms the commonest ending but leaves most of the group live.

What is a FLUYT

A Dutch cargo ship from the seventeenth century. It is one of the stranger spellings here, using Y where an I would be expected.

How do FLUKE and FLUKY relate

A fluke is a stroke of luck and FLUKY describes something that happened by one. Both are here, split at the last box.

Why do so many LU words end in FF

Four of them do. BLUFF and FLUFF are the ones you would produce, and the doubled F keeps the sound short and hard.

What does BLURB really mean

A short promotional description, usually on a book cover. It began as a deliberate joke word and stuck.
