Every NG Word Opens with a Vowel

A takes seven of the fifteen, U takes five and I takes three. Fifteen of the fifteen start with a vowel, so the first box is a three way choice.

The U words are all the un prefix at work. UNGAG, UNGET, UNGOD, UNGOT and UNGUM are negations rather than words in their own right.

T closes four of the fifteen, more than any other letter, coming from ANGST, INGOT, UNGET and UNGOT.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tell ANGEL and ANGLE apart

ANGEL ends in EL like the names Daniel and Gabriel. ANGLE ends in LE like circle and triangle, the shapes it belongs with.

How do ANGER and ANGRY relate

ANGER is the noun and ANGRY the adjective. Both are here and they split across the last two boxes.

What is an INGLE

A fire burning in a hearth, and by extension the hearth itself. The word survives in inglenook.

What is ANGST exactly

A deep anxiety about existence rather than ordinary worry. English borrowed it from German and kept the heavier sense.

Do any NG words repeat a letter

Zero of them do, so no box repeats anywhere in this group.
