Near Pairs Among R and F Words

RAFTS and RIFTS differ in the box after the R, which makes them the pair most likely to be confused.

RIFFS and RUFFS do the same, so this page holds two separate pairs split by a single vowel.

Doubled Consonants in R and F Words

RIFFS, RUFFS and RUFFE all double the F into the fourth box, which is a shape none of the common E branch words use.

  • RUFFE
  • RAFTS
  • RIFTS

REFER is the most common word here, and it repeats both its R and its E, which nothing else on the page does.

So if an R comes back in the last box as well as the first, REFER is very nearly the answer on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ROOFS part of this pattern

No. ROOFS puts O in the second box and a second O in the third. The F lands fourth.

Is REFER or RIFLE the better opener

RIFLE. Its L is a letter no other common entry uses, and its I covers the second largest branch.

Why are there no consonants in the box between

An R followed by a consonant and then an F leaves nothing workable in English, so every entry takes a vowel there.
