Forty eight words start with AN, and the third box is where they separate.

How the AN Group Divides

T takes the third box in ten of the forty eight, I in eight, G in seven and N in six. K and O take four each. No branch runs away with it, so the third box is worth a guess rather than an assumption.

The ANG Words Are the Cluster to Know

ANGEL, ANGER, ANGLE, ANGRY and ANGST all come from one branch of seven words, and every one of them is ordinary. ANGLO and ANGAS fill it out, which makes this the densest concentration of useful words on the page.

The AN Words Outside the ANG Shape

ANKLE, ANVIL, ANNEX, ANNOY and ANODE are the reachable entries elsewhere. ANISE, ANIME and ANTIC follow, and past those the page turns into ANLAS, ANSAE, ANTAE and ANTRA.

Getting Value From an AN Guess

E closes twelve of the forty eight, twenty five percent, and S takes ten. Between them they take twenty two of the page, so the last box is the cheapest thing to test.

A leads the fourth box on eleven words with L on eight. ANGEL and ANGLE remain the classic trap, the same five letters in a different order, and only the last two boxes separate them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ANGEL or ANGLE the better guess

Neither on its own. They use the same letters and differ only in the order of the last two boxes, so guessing one leaves the other completely live.

How many AN words end in E

Twelve, which is twenty five percent. ANKLE, ANGLE, ANODE and ANISE all land there.

What is an ANOMY

A state of normlessness, more often written anomie. It sits among the less reachable entries here.
