Fifty four words put P first and A third, and three blends take almost all of them. The second box is a choice between L, E and R.

How P First and A Third Splits

L takes the second box in eighteen words, E in fifteen and R in fourteen. Together that is forty seven of the fifty four, and nothing else reaches more than three.

The PLA Family in P and A Words

PLACE, PLAIN, PLANE, PLANT and PLATE are the ordinary words in the largest branch, and PLAYS, PLANS and PLAID sit alongside them. It is the richest part of the page.

  • PLACE
  • PLAIN
  • PLANT
  • PLATE
  • PLAZA

Telling the PLA Words Apart

PLANE, PLANK, PLANS and PLANT differ only in the last box. PLACE and PLACK do the same, as do PLATE, PLATS and PLATY. Landing inside PLA tells you three letters and then leaves you exactly where you started on the other two.

  • PEACE
  • PEARL
  • PRANK
  • PRAWN
  • POACH

S closes fifteen of the fifty four, twenty eight percent, and E another twelve. Between them they take twenty seven of the page, so the last box is worth pinning down before you work the second.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PLACE or PLANT the better opening

Both are common and they differ in two boxes. PLANT also tests N in the fourth box, which more words here take than any other letter.

Does PSALM belong on this list

Yes, it runs P, S, A, L, M. The silent P and the lone S in the second box make it easy to forget.

What sits outside the three main blends

Very little. H takes three words giving PHASE and PHAGE, and PIANO, POACH and PSALM are close to the whole remainder.
