Use ? for unknowns

Seventeen words put N first and N third, which means every one of them uses the letter N twice.

N First and N Third Is a Thin List

O takes the second box in six of the seventeen, with A and I on five each and E on just one. Only vowels appear there, and the branches are small enough that the second box rarely decides anything.

The Doubled N Shapes in N and N Words

NANNY, NINNY and NONNY put a third N in the fourth box, which makes them the three entries here that repeat a letter. All three end in Y, so a double plus a trailing Y narrows the page to those alone.

The Recognisable N and N Words

NINTH, NINES, NANNY and NINJA are the entries most people would produce. NONCE and NONET are reachable at a push, and NANDU, NINON, NONYL and NENES are not.

S closes five of the seventeen, twenty nine percent, with Y on four. Between them they take most of the last box.

E leads the fourth box on four words with C and N on three each, so nothing there is decisive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NINTH or NINES the better guess

They share three letters and split at the fourth box. NINTH is the more common word and its H ending appears on only one entry here.

Does NINJA fit the pattern

Yes, it runs N, I, N, J, A. The J in the fourth box is unique on this page, so guessing it either wins or costs one turn.

What is a NANDU

A large flightless bird, also called a rhea. It sits in the A branch with NANAS and NANCE.
