Only seventeen words start with AT, and the third box is an O in nearly half of them.
O takes the third box in seven of the seventeen, forty one percent. I, M, R and T take two each, and A and L take one apiece.
ATLAS, ATOMS, ATONE and ATTIC are the entries you would actually produce. ATOLL is reachable and ATTAR is the kind of word crosswords like.
ATAXY, ATIMY, ATMAN, ATMAS, ATOKE, ATOMY, ATONY, ATOPY, ATRIA and ATRIP make up the rest and none is vocabulary you carry.
So the practical page is a handful of words, far fewer than the count suggests.
ATTAR and ATTIC put a second T in the third box, and they are two of the three entries here that repeat a letter.
Y closes five of the seventeen, twenty nine percent, which is high. ATAXY, ATIMY, ATOMY, ATONY and ATOPY all land there, so a trailing Y points you at the obscure end of the page.
A leads the fourth box on four words with M and I on three each. ATLAS is the best opening here, being the most common entry and the only one testing L in the fourth box.
Both are ordinary words and they differ in every box after the AT. ATLAS is slightly more common and tests a different fourth letter.

Yes, it runs A, T, O, N, E. It sits in the O branch alongside ATOLL, ATOMS and ATOMY.
