Seven hundred fifteen words begin with B, and one hundred thirty four of them repeat a letter.
A takes the second box in one hundred thirty three of the seven hundred fifteen, O in one hundred twenty seven, E in one hundred eight and U in ninety nine. R takes ninety four, I takes seventy three and L takes seventy one.
Only ten letters appear there at all, which is unusually few for a list this size. B accepts the vowels, two liquids and almost nothing else.
BRAIN, BREAD, BRICK, BRING and BROWN carry the R branch. BLACK, BLAME, BLIND, BLOCK and BLOOD carry the L branch.
Both are full of ordinary words, which makes them better value per guess than their counts suggest. Together they hold one hundred sixty five of the seven hundred fifteen.
BOOKS, BOOST, BOOTH, BLOOD and BLOOM all carry a doubled O, and they are much of why the repeat count here is so high. If your puzzle shows a double, try that shape first.
S closes one hundred eighty nine of the seven hundred fifteen, twenty six percent, with Y on ninety five and E on ninety one. Ruling out a plural is the single biggest cut available on this page.
BRAIN or BLACK. Both are common, both sit in a large blend branch and they test different vowels.
One hundred thirty four of the seven hundred fifteen carry one. The doubled O and doubled L shapes are the main sources, as in BLOOD and BALLS.
Barely. Only ten letters appear in that box, and apart from R and L they are vowels plus a few Y entries.
