Fifty five words put M first and L third, and every vowel opens the second box in near equal numbers.

No Obvious Place to Start on M and L Words

I takes the second box in fourteen words, A in thirteen, O in eleven, U in nine and E in seven. With fifty five words spread across branches that evenly, no single guess there cuts much.

Doubled L Words in the M and L Group

Ten words repeat a letter and nearly all double the L. MALLS, MELLS, MILLS, MOLLY, MOLLS, MULLA and MULLS all do it, and most differ only in the last box.

  • MOLLY
  • MILLS
  • MALLS
  • MULLS
  • MOLLS

When M and L Words Keep a Single L

MOLAR, MELON, MILER, MALES and MOLES are the useful words that avoid the double. They spread across several vowels and several endings, which makes any of them a better opening than a doubled L word.

The Last Box Is the Best Target for M and L Words

S closes twenty of the fifty five, thirty six percent, with Y and A on seven each. That is the only figure on the page decisive enough to act on, so rule out a plural before touching the second box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which word should I open with

MELON or MOLAR. Both are common, both avoid the doubled L, and between them they test two vowels and two endings.

Why are there so many doubled L words

The short stems MAL, MEL, MIL, MOL and MUL all accept a second L before a plural or a Y. That produces the same shape across every vowel branch.

What does MULCT mean

To fine someone, or to swindle them out of money. It sits in the U branch beside MULCH and is the harder of the two to spot.
