Use ? for unknowns

Twenty seven words put O first and I third, and X opens more of them than any other letter. That is not something you can say about many pages.

An Unusually Flat Spread in O and I Words

X takes the second box in four of the twenty seven, fifteen percent, with B and P on three each. After those, D, H, L and N take two apiece and the rest appear once.

OXIDE, OXIDS, OXIME and OXIMS are the X branch in full. Most players treat X as a last resort, so this is a page where that instinct costs you.

  • OXIDE
  • OLIVE
  • ONION
  • OPINE
  • OSIER

Vowel Heavy O and I Words

Every word here opens with a vowel and has another in the third box, so the consonants have to fit around them. OLIOS, OHIAS, OBIAS and OUIJA push that further with a third vowel.

ONION, OLIVE, OXIDE and OPIUM are the entries you would actually reach for. OPINE and OSIER are reachable at a push, and the rest turn technical fast.

  • ONION
  • OPIUM
  • OLIVE
  • OXIDE
  • OLIOS

S closes seven of the twenty seven, twenty six percent, and E another six. N leads the fourth box on five words.

Only one word repeats a letter, so a visible double narrows this page to a single answer immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I really try an X here

On this page yes. Four of the twenty seven take it in the second box, which is the largest branch, and OXIDE is common enough to be a reasonable guess.

Does ONION fit the pattern

Yes, it runs O, N, I, O, N. The I sits third, and the word repeats both its O and its N without either pair touching.

What is an OUIJA

A board used to spell out messages. It is the only word here with U in the second box and it packs a vowel into every box but one.
