Only fourteen words place R second and Y third, and most of them are a stem wearing one of two suffixes.
DRYER, FRYER, PRYER and WRYER all take the agent or comparative ER. DRYLY and WRYLY take the adverb LY. Between them those two suffixes account for most of the page.
Neither tells you much about the stem. DRY, FRY, PRY and WRY are all three letter words, and the pattern just records which ending each took.
Neither is built from a suffix and both are ordinary English. A crypt is an underground chamber and a tryst is a secret meeting, and they are the two entries a puzzle is most likely to want after DRYER.
E takes the fourth box in four of the fourteen and L in three, which is the ER and LY split showing up in the data.
R closes four of the fourteen and E closes three. With eight letters opening only fourteen words, the first box is where the real variation sits.
CRYPT tests the C, P and T, none of which the suffix words use. DRYER confirms the commonest shape but leaves you among several near identical stems.
Both are valid. DRYER is usual for the machine and DRIER for the comparative, though the two get swapped constantly.
A tree nymph in Greek mythology. It is the one entry here that is neither a suffix form nor ordinary modern vocabulary.
A type of nut like fruit, such as a walnut, in botanical terms. It is the least guessable word on the page.
Zero of the fourteen do. No entry here uses the same letter twice.
