Twenty nine words start with AS, and the fourth box is an E in two fifths of them.

The AS Third Box Spreads Thin

S takes it in six of the twenty nine, K in five, and H and P in four each. Eleven letters appear there, so no branch is large enough to chase.

The Doubled S Words in the AS Group

ASSAI, ASSAY, ASSES and ASSET all carry a second S straight after the opening, and they account for most of the six repeats here.

So a visible double points at that branch immediately. Outside it, ASHED and ASHES are the only other entries that repeat anything.
