Twenty four words put N first and R third, and the E and A branches lead by a wide margin. Only one of the two holds words you would use.
A and E take the second box in eight words each, O follows on four, and U and I take the rest. Only vowels appear there across the whole twenty four.
NORTH, NURSE, NERVE and NERDS are the words here you would actually reach for. NERVY and NORMS are close behind, and all of them come from the E and O branches.
It ties for the largest at eight words and contains nothing useful. NARCO, NARCS, NARDS, NARES, NARIC, NARIS, NARKY and NARKS are all valid entries and none is vocabulary most people carry.
S closes ten of the twenty four, forty two percent, which is far ahead of anything else. Ruling out a plural removes a large slice of the page immediately.
Nothing here repeats a letter, so a visible double rules the pattern out. Between that and the vowel restriction in the second box, this page narrows faster than its size suggests.
Both are common and they differ in three boxes, so either works well. NORTH tests the O branch and NURSE the U, which between them cover the useful half of the page.
An exclamation of contempt, also a card game. NERTS is a variant and both sit in the E branch.
An R in the third box needs a vowel in front of it to be pronounceable at five letters. That rules out every consonant automatically.
