One hundred fifteen words place R second and E third, and repeats are commoner here than on almost any comparable page.

RE Words Repeat in Two Different Ways

Twenty eight of the one hundred fifteen carry a doubled letter, which is a high rate for a group this size. They split into two distinct shapes rather than one.

BREED, CREED, CREEK, CREEP and GREEN double the E in the fourth box. PRESS, DRESS and CRESS double the S at the end instead, and knowing which kind matters as much as knowing there is a repeat.

The RE Words You Will Actually Want

GREAT, PRESS, GREEN, BREAK and FRESH are the most common. DREAM, CREAM, TREES, DRESS and CREEK all come up constantly.

  • GREAT
  • PRESS
  • GREEN
  • BREAK
  • FRESH

The AREA Branch Is Not a Consonant Cluster at All

AREAS, ARENA, ARETE and ARECA all open with a vowel and come from Latin and Greek. A takes eleven of the one hundred fifteen, and none of those words behaves like the BR and CR entries around them.

Where RE Words Finish

S closes twenty eight of the one hundred fifteen, E closes sixteen and T closes fifteen, with D on fourteen.

That is a flatter spread than most large groups manage, so the last box narrows without deciding.

C opens seventeen of the one hundred fifteen and T opens fifteen, but thirteen letters appear in that box. The front of an RE word stays genuinely open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GREAT or PRESS the better opening

GREAT tests the G, A and T without repeating. PRESS doubles the S, spending part of the guess.

What is an ARETE

A sharp mountain ridge between two valleys. The word is French and standard in mountaineering.

How do BREDE and BREED differ

BREDE is an archaic word for embroidery and BREED is the ordinary verb. Only the last two letters swap.

What does DRECK mean

Rubbish or worthless material, from Yiddish. It is slang that most readers would recognise.
