Seventy seven words hold O second and T third, and a doubled T runs through a large part of the group.

The Doubled T Is the Defining Shape

T takes the fourth box in sixteen of the seventy seven, which puts a second T straight after the first. DOTTY, GOTTA, LOTTO, MOTTO, POTTY, COTTA and MOTTE all work that way.

Eighteen of the seventy seven carry a repeated letter, and almost all of them sit in this branch. For a group this size that is a high rate.

The OT Words You Will Actually Want

HOTEL, TOTAL, NOTES, MOTOR and VOTES are the most common. NOTED, LOTUS, MOTEL and NOTCH come up regularly.

  • HOTEL
  • TOTAL
  • NOTES
  • MOTOR
  • VOTES

E Still Leads the Fourth Box

Despite the doubled T cluster, E takes the fourth box in twenty three of the seventy seven, more than any other letter. NOTES, VOTED, DOTER, MOTEL and HOTEL all run through it.

So the page really splits three ways. E gives you the ordinary vocabulary, T gives you the rhyming cluster, and A on twelve gives you a scattering of borrowings like IOTAS and LOTAH.

Where OT Words Finish

S closes twenty two of the seventy seven, well ahead of Y on ten and L on eight. The L ending comes almost entirely from HOTEL, MOTEL, BOTEL and NOTAL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HOTEL or NOTES the better guess

HOTEL tests the H and L, neither of which the busy E and T branches use much. NOTES sits inside the commonest shape.

How do MOTTE and MOTTO differ

A motte is the raised earth mound under a castle keep, and a motto is a short phrase. Both double the T and split at the last box.

What is a KOTOW

A deep bow touching the forehead to the ground, more often written kowtow. The longer form runs past five letters.
