One hundred fifty six words put R second and O third, and a W in the fourth box shapes a large slice of them.

The OW Shape Runs Right Through the RO Group

W takes the fourth box in sixteen of the one hundred fifty six. BROWN, BROWS, CROWD, CROWN, CROWS, DROWN, FROWN, GROWL, GROWN, GROWS, PROWL and TROWS all carry it.

For a letter that rarely sits inside a word that is a striking share. It also produces a lot of near pairs, since BROWN and BROWS differ in the last box alone.

The RO Words You Will Reach For

GROUP, FRONT, CROSS, BROWN and WROTE are the most common. WRONG, PROOF, BROAD, PROUD and CROWN come up constantly too.

  • GROUP
  • FRONT
  • CROSS
  • BROWN
  • PROOF

A Doubled O Accounts for Most Repeats

BROOD, BROOK, BROOM, CROOK, CROON, DROOL, DROOP and PROOF all put a second O straight after the first. O takes the fourth box in nineteen of the one hundred fifty six.

Twenty five of the one hundred fifty six carry a repeated letter altogether. Between the doubled O words and CROSS and GROSS, repeats are worth testing early.

E closes thirty three of the one hundred fifty six and S closes thirty, with T on thirteen and K on eleven. The last box is busier than most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GROUP or BROWN the better opening

BROWN tests the W branch, which is the largest single shape here. GROUP tests the U and P and tells you less about where the answer sits.

How do GROWN and GROWL differ

GROWN is the past participle of grow and a growl is a low threatening sound. The final letter is the only thing between them.

What is a CROZE

The groove at the end of a barrel stave that holds the head in place. It is coopering vocabulary.

What does BROSE mean

A Scottish dish of oatmeal mixed with boiling water or stock. BROSY is the adjective.
