Twenty four words put R first and P third, and the fourth box is nearly settled before you start.

REPLY Heads a Dominant R and P Branch

E takes the second box in eight of the twenty four, thirty three percent. A follows on six, with I and O on four each and U on two.

REPLY is the most common word on the page. REPAY, REPEL and REPRO sit alongside it, and the branch holds more ordinary vocabulary than any other here.

E also fills the fourth box in fourteen of the twenty four, fifty eight percent. That is the single strongest fact on this page, so assume it rather than spend a guess testing it.

Where R and P Words Take Another Vowel

RAPID is the useful word from the A branch, with RAPED, RAPER and RAPES behind it. RIPEN and RIPER carry I, and ROPED, ROPER and ROPES carry O. Every one of those stems takes the same D, R and S endings, which is why the last box decides so much.

D and S close eight of the twenty four between them, with R and E and Y on three each. Only three words repeat a letter, so a visible double narrows the page sharply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is REPLY the best opening

Yes. It is the most common word here, it tests the largest branch and its Y ending appears on only three entries.

Why do so many stems take the same endings

RAPE, RIPE and ROPE are all short verbs, and each accepts D, R and S. That produces three matched triples across three vowels.

What is a RUPIA

A skin eruption. It is one of two words here with U in the second box, the other being RUPEE.
