Twenty six words put O first and E third, and no second letter takes more than a handful. The page is wide but shallow.

How O First and E Third Spreads Out

L leads the second box on five words, B follows on four, and M and V take three each. After that almost every letter appears once or twice.

That spread means the second box is a poor target. A guess there eliminates a few words at most, which is rarely worth a turn on a page this size.

The fourth box is slightly better behaved, with R on six words and N on four, but even those are small shares of the twenty six.

Everyday O and E Words

OCEAN, OPERA, OBESE and OMEGA are the ones here you would meet in ordinary use. OVENS, OVERT and OPENS follow, and after those the page turns into dictionary entries like OBELI, OLEIN and ODEUM.

  • OCEAN
  • OPERA
  • OBESE
  • OMEGA
  • OVERT

S closes ten of the twenty six, thirty eight percent, which is far ahead of anything else and the one dependable signal here.

Only one word repeats a letter. On a page with this little structure, that is worth knowing because a visible double settles it in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OCEAN the safest guess

Yes. It is the most common word here and it tests C in the second box, which nothing else on the page uses.

Do OVERS and OVERT differ much

Only in the last box. OVENS sits nearby on the same V branch, so that corner can absorb more than one turn.

What is an ODEUM

A building used for musical performances. It is one of several classical terms on this page, alongside OBELI and OLEOS.
