The CH Branch Behaves Differently

CHAIR, CHASE, CHEAP, CHESS and CHILD all come from it, and the H changes how the rest of the word sounds rather than just which letters follow.

It holds one hundred twenty seven words, sixteen percent, and it is the only branch where the second letter is a consonant forming no blend.

Where C Words Go After the Big Three

CRANE, CRISP and CROWD carry the R branch, and CLOUD, CLEAN and CLICK carry L. Both are blends and both are full of common words.

U is the smallest of the main branches at sixty seven words, holding CURVE, CURSE and CUBIC. It is the one most players forget to test.

E fills the fourth box in one hundred forty one of the seven hundred seventy one, eighteen percent, and S closes one hundred ninety, twenty five percent. Those two facts describe more of this page than any branch does.
