Seventeen words carry N second and D third, and every one of them opens with a vowel.

IN, UN and EN Are the Only Openings

I opens six of the seventeen, U opens six and E opens five. There is nothing else, so the first box is a three way choice every single time.

  • UNDER
  • INDEX
  • ENDED
  • UNDUE
  • ENDOW

The Prefixes Do Not Mean What You Expect

UNDER and UNDID use un in its ordinary sense, but UNDUE means not due and UNDUG means not dug. INDEX and INDRI are not prefixed at all, they simply begin with those letters.

So you cannot reason from the opening. ENDED and ENDER come from the verb end, while ENDOW and ENDUE come from Latin roots that have nothing to do with ending.

W Closes More ND Words Than You Would Guess

W takes four of the seventeen, level with E. ENDOW, INDOW, ENDEW and INDEW are variant spellings clustered around the same two words.

E fills the fourth box in seven of the seventeen, with U on four. Between them the fourth letter is nearly settled before you begin.
